Maddox

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Maddox was born around June 2026, is currently 25 cm tall and weighs 5 kg (as of November 1, 2026). The little dog was rescued along with his mother and seven siblings from a particularly dangerous area in Romania. The small dog family lived in a part of the community where animals are unfortunately often mistreated and even intentionally tortured. For the dog mom and her puppies, this place was anything but safe. Fortunately, they were discovered by dedicated animal lovers and brought to safety in time. Now they can grow up protected and hope for a happy future. Despite his difficult start in life, Maddox is an exceptionally loving, friendly and very social young dog; a real sunshine! With his open-minded nature, he inspires the people who care for him. Maddox is sociable and brings wonderful conditions with his lovable nature to become a loyal companion of his future family. The little treasure is still at the beginning of his life and has so many beautiful experiences ahead of him. He wants to discover the world, play, learn new things and experience many wonderful moments with his people. Of course, Maddox still needs to learn the dog basics. Housebreaking, walks on a leash and living in a family will be new experiences for him. With patience, loving upbringing and enough time, he will learn step by step to find his way in his new everyday life. We wish Maddox a loving home with people who enjoy accompanying a young dog as he grows up. People who like to spend time with him, explore nature with him and give him the security and warmth he deserves. A family that does not just consider him as a pet, but as a full-fledged family member who deserves to belong forever. Maddox and his mother and siblings have survived a difficult start in life. Now a new chapter should finally begin for him - with his own bed, loving people and a home where he can feel safe and secure. Who falls in love with our enchanting Maddox and gives him a home full of love, warmth and beautiful shared adventures? We look forward to your inquiries! He has been examined by a veterinarian, dewormed, flea-free, chipped, vaccinated and tested for Mediterranean diseases including leishmaniasis, with an EU passport and Traces. He is still too young for neutering. The deposit is €595.

Maddox wurde ca. 06/2026 geboren, ist aktuell 25 cm groß und wiegt 5 kg (Stand: 1.11.2026). Der kleine Hundejunge wurde gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter und seinen sieben Geschwistern aus einem besonders gefährlichen Gebiet in Rumänien gerettet. Die kleine Hundefamilie lebte in einem Teil der Gemeinde, in dem Tiere leider immer wieder schlecht behandelt und sogar absichtlich gequält werden. Für die Hundemama und ihre Welpen war dieser Ort alles andere als sicher. Glücklicherweise wurden sie von engagierten Tierschützern entdeckt und rechtzeitig in Sicherheit gebracht. Nun dürfen sie behütet aufwachsen und auf eine glückliche Zukunft hoffen. Trotz seines schwierigen Starts ins Leben ist Maddox ein ausgesprochen lieber, freundlicher und sehr sozialer Hundejunge; ein richtiger Sonnenschein! Mit seinem aufgeschlossenen Wesen begeistert er die Menschen, die ihn betreuen. Maddox zeigt sich kontaktfreudig und bringt mit seiner liebenswerten Art wunderbare Voraussetzungen mit, um ein treuer Begleiter seiner zukünftigen Familie zu werden. Der kleine Schatz steht noch ganz am Anfang seines Lebens und hat so viele schöne Erfahrungen vor sich. Er möchte die Welt entdecken, spielen, Neues kennenlernen und gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen viele wunderbare Momente erleben. Natürlich muss Maddox das Hunde-Einmaleins erst noch lernen. Stubenreinheit, Spaziergänge an der Leine und das Zusammenleben in einer Familie werden für ihn neue Erfahrungen sein. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Erziehung und ausreichend Zeit wird er Schritt für Schritt lernen, sich in seinem neuen Alltag zurechtzufinden. Für Maddox wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude daran haben, einen jungen Hund beim Erwachsenwerden zu begleiten. Menschen, die gerne Zeit mit ihm verbringen, gemeinsam mit ihm die Natur erkunden und ihm die Sicherheit und Geborgenheit schenken, die er verdient. Eine Familie, die ihn nicht nur als Haustier betrachtet, sondern als vollwertiges Familienmitglied, das für immer dazugehören darf. Maddox hat gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter und seinen Geschwistern einen schwierigen Start ins Leben überstanden. Nun soll für ihn endlich ein neues Kapitel beginnen – mit einem eigenen Körbchen, liebevollen Menschen und einem Zuhause, in dem er sich sicher und geborgen fühlen darf. Wer verliebt sich in unseren bezaubernden Maddox und schenkt ihm ein Zuhause voller Liebe, Wärme und schöner gemeinsamer Abenteuer? Wir freuen uns auf Eure Anfragen! Er ist tierärztlich untersucht, entwurmt, entfloht, gechipt, geimpft und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten inkl. Leishmaniose getestet, mit EU Pass und Traces. Für eine Kastration ist er noch zu jung. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 595€.

About Maddox

What life with Maddox looks like

Maddox is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung International e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maddox, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maddox?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierrettung International e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maddox on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maddox if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierrettung International e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Maddox already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Maddox isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierrettung International e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maddox and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
