Max

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 10 years

Max is very popular during visits, but from our experience we know that when we want something from him, he shows that he doesn't like it. Max has already learned to walk with a muzzle, so he can now walk outside the premises. Previously, the girls took him to the pen and let him into the area. He is an active dog in his best years, suitable for young experienced people who go on trips and will teach him new things and introduce him to other dogs. Not suitable for families with children.

CS·Show original

Max je sice velmi oblíbený při návštěvách, ale z naší zkušenosti víme, že když po něm něco chceme, dává najevo, že se mu to nelíbí. Max už se naučil chodit s náhubkem, takže už může chodit i mimo areál. Předtím ho holky vodily do výběhu a pouštěly ho do areálu. Je to akční pes v nejlepších letech, vhodný pro mladé zkušené lidi, kteří podnikají výlety a budou ho učit novým věcem a seznamovat se psy. Není vhodný do rodiny s dětmi.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Útulek Zlín-Vršava in Zlín-Zlín 12.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Max, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Max?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Útulek Zlín-Vršava handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Max on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Max if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Zlín-Vršava 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 Max 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 Max 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 Útulek Zlín-Vršava early rather than rehoming privately; they know Max 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 (CS). 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.
