MAKA - ESSEX

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

This lovely boy is Maka and he is sadly looking for a new home as his parents are moving abroad and Maka cannot go with them. Maka is a white shorthaired neutered boy. He is vaccinated and microchipped. Maka has met chhildren of all ages and been fine with them. He hasn't lived with young children but at his tender age we think he will be calm around them. Maka is not good around other dogs. He does walk fairly well on a lead and has a good recall. He was sent to residential training for his reactivity, and whilst it worked initially when he came home it soon deteriorated. He is let off lead in open spaces where his owner can see who is around. When they went to go for a walk he did get excited and jumped around. We will say no to cats in his new home. Maka sadly came from a not so nice breeder. He was poorly on arrival but made a full recovery and has been a healthy dog for the last 8 years. Maka greeted the volunteer very nicely at the door, no barking gave her a sniff and then off he went. He approached her a couple of times whilst they were filling out the forms and then took himself off again. This lovely boy deserves a retirement home. His wishes are to be an only dog, with his humans around most of the time for company. He enjoys his walks and whilst he likes a ball he does not bring it back. If you can offer Maka that special home please get in touch More information Gender: Male Age: 8 YEARS Color: White Coat: Short Neutered: Yes Good with other dogs: No Good with cats: No Good with children: Yes

About MAKA - ESSEX

What life with MAKA - ESSEX looks like

MAKA - ESSEX is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at German Shepherd Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting MAKA - ESSEX, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MAKA - ESSEX?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. German Shepherd Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MAKA - ESSEX on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MAKA - ESSEX if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — German Shepherd Dog Rescue 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is MAKA - ESSEX 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 MAKA - ESSEX 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 German Shepherd Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know MAKA - ESSEX 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 (EN). 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.
