Max

English Setter · Male · Senior · 10 years

My story: Max is a 10-year-old English Setter. He came to the shelter after his owner was hospitalized, and today he’s waiting for a new family who will give him all the love he deserves. Max is an incredibly endearing dog. Very cuddly and especially affectionate, he’s a real little shadow who loves being close to his humans. My personality: He constantly seeks their company and enjoys tender moments just as much as walks. Despite being 10 years old, Max remains energetic. Although he’s not very playful, he loves running, exploring his surroundings, and enjoying outdoor outings. He’s also a big fan of water and never misses an opportunity to take a dip. Max gets along wonderfully with other dogs. However, since his hunting instinct is highly developed, a household without cats would be ideal. He’s used to living with children in foster families and really enjoys their company. What I like / What I don’t like: His hearing is slightly impaired, but that doesn’t stop him from fully enjoying his daily life. To ensure his safety and well-being, a perfectly fenced-in yard will be essential in his future home. Max is looking for a present family—someone ready to provide him with a secure environment, lovely walks, and lots of affection. In return, he’ll be a loyal, tender, and grateful companion who can’t wait to share many more wonderful years with those who open their hearts to him.

Mon histoire : Max est un Setter Anglais de 10 ans. Il est arrivé au refuge suite à l’hospitalisation de son propriétaire et attend aujourd’hui une nouvelle famille qui saura lui offrir tout l’amour qu’il mérite.Max est un chien extrêmement attachant. Très câlin et particulièrement affectueux, c’est un véritable pot de colle qui adore être auprès de ses humains. Mon caractère : Il recherche constamment leur présence et apprécie les moments de tendresse autant que les balades.Malgré ses 10 ans, Max est encore dynamique. Même s’il n’est pas très joueur, il adore courir, explorer son environnement et profiter des sorties. Il est également un grand amateur d’eau et ne manque jamais une occasion d’aller s’y baigner.Max s’entend très bien avec les autres chiens. En revanche, son instinct de chasse étant très développé, une famille sans chat sera demandée. Il est habitué à vivre avec des enfants en famille d’accueil et les apprécie beaucoup. J'aime / J'aime pas : Son audition est légèrement diminuée, mais cela ne l’empêche pas de profiter pleinement de son quotidien.Afin de garantir sa sécurité et son bien-être, un terrain parfaitement clôturé sera indispensable pour son futur foyer.Max recherche une famille présente, prête à lui offrir un environnement sécurisé, de belles promenades et beaucoup d’affection. En retour, il sera un compagnon fidèle, tendre et reconnaissant, qui ne demandera qu’à partager encore de belles années auprès de ceux qui lui ouvriront leur cœur.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a senior english setter dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. APAA Trégrom 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 — APAA Trégrom 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 APAA Trégrom 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 (FR). 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.
