Maks (Макс)

Male · Senior · 10 years

My name is Max, I am 10 years old. I had a home and a loving owner, but he went to defend Ukraine. Unfortunately, there was no one left to take care of me, so I ended up in the shelter. I'm a real shepherd - intelligent, social and very people-oriented. Most of all in the world I love hugs, affection and just being close to my people. Despite my advanced age, I still enjoy walking, socializing and giving my love to everyone who pays attention to me. I really dream of finding a home where I will be loved. In return, I will become the most devoted friend who will give warmth, peace and boundless love every day. ❤️

Мене звати Макс, мені 10 років. У мене був дім і люблячий господар, але він пішов захищати Україну. На жаль, більше не було кому про мене піклуватися, тому я опинився в притулку. Я справжній вівчарик — розумний, соціальний і дуже орієнтований на людину. Найбільше у світі я люблю обійми, ласку та просто бути поруч зі своїми людьми. Незважаючи на свій поважний вік, я все ще із задоволенням гуляю, спілкуюся та дарую свою любов кожному, хто приділяє мені увагу. Я дуже мрію знову знайти дім, де мене любитимуть. У відповідь я стану найвідданішим другом, який щодня даруватиме тепло, спокій і безмежну любов. ❤️

About Maks (Макс)

What life with Maks (Макс) looks like

Maks (Макс) is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇺🇦Adopting from Ukraine

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maks (Макс), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maks (Макс)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sirius Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maks (Макс) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maks (Макс) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sirius Shelter 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Maks (Макс) 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 Maks (Макс) 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 Sirius Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maks (Макс) 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 (UK). 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.
