Max

Male · Senior · 8 years

Ras: Duitse Jachtterriër mix Geboortedatum: 16/07/2018 Geslacht: reu Steriel: nee Zindelijk: ja Kan alleen blijven: liever niet Kan mee in de auto: ja Andere honden: teefjes Katten: nee Kinderen: +12j, rustig Hoi liefhebbers van bedaarde volwassen stoere kerels met een klein hartje ! Wanneer je een bepaalde status en leeftijd hebt bereikt, heb je geen nood meer aan gedoe. Niet van wilde feesten, niet van krijsende en jengelende (klein-)kinderen, niet van vreemden die eventjes wild komen feesten in zijn rustige thuis. Max heeft maar aan een paar dingen nood : Een lief, rustig maar avontuurlijk gezin, dat niet te beroerd is om lange tochten te maken (met de camper, truck, auto) en daar de nodige (berg-)wandelingen aan te koppelen en waar hij niet de godganse dag alleen moet blijven ! Vergeet wel niet om zijn oogdruppeltjes overal mee te nemen. Alleen blijven voor een paar uurtjes in een (goed omheinde) ruime tuin, lukt wel na een tijdje. Binnen vindt hij het écht niet leuk, en dat zal hij ook héél duidelijk maken 😉 Zie jij je al vertrekken door berg en dal, op sportieve uitjes of lange tochten? Nood aan een échte “compagnon-de-route”? Zoek niet verder ! Welopgevoed, rustig en aanhankelijk… meer moet je toch niet wensen? Stuur maar snel een mail !

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a senior dog waiting at vzw Helping Dogs in Belgium.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

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. vzw Helping Dogs 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 — vzw Helping Dogs 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 vzw Helping Dogs 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
