Max

Dachshund · Male · Adult · 6 years

Max is a small mixed breed Dachshund who was taken from poor living conditions and needs time to build trust initially. He is initially unsure around strangers and does not want to be touched directly. He wears a muzzle without any problems. Max has a strong hunting instinct typical of his breed and also defends his chew toys. He gets along well with female dogs. Experienced people are sought for Max, who can provide him with clear structures and the necessary security. Children should not live in the household. We offer mediation assistance and hope that the little Dachshund will soon find a suitable home. Max is not personally known to us; all information comes from his current owner. Interested parties are welcome to contact Tierschutzverein Schwäbisch Hall e.V.

DE·Show original

Rasse: Dackel Mischling Geschlecht: männlich Geburtsdatum: 2020 Größe: klein Max wurde aus schlechter Haltung übernommen und benötigt anfangs Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Fremden begegnet er zunächst unsicher und möchte nicht direkt angefasst werden. Einen Maulkorb trägt er problemlos. Rassetypisch hat Max einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb und verteidigt zudem seine Kausachen. Mit Hündinnen zeigt er sich verträglich. Für Max werden erfahrene Menschen gesucht, die ihm klare Strukturen und die nötige Sicherheit geben. Kinder sollten nicht mit im Haushalt leben. Wir leisten Vermittlungshilfe und hoffen so, dass der Dackelmann bald ein passendes Zuhause findet. Max ist uns persönlich nicht bekannt, alle Informationen stammen von seiner jetzigen Besitzerin. Interessenten können sich gerne beim Tierschutzverein Schwäbisch Hall e.V. melden.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a small adult dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 — Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 (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.
