Max

English Springer Spaniel · Male

Five-year old Max has lived with his present owner for three years, after they gave him a home due to his owner having a terminal illness. When he arrived, he had few toys and not much training. But now he adores his toys, plays ball and recalls to the whistle. As a Springer, scenting is in his DNA and he puts this to full use on his walks 🥳 Max is a very sociable dog and loves to take part in family life, a relaxed boy who is always good with people and dogs alike. So it is unfortunate that recently, whilst Max was seeking under decking, his owner startled him by pulling him out and was bitten. This was totally out of character, but due to visits from very young children, they have decided to make the heart-breaking decision to rehome him. He is a well-loved boy and will need active owners to provide good exercise and mental stimulation. Max is a fabulous dog, if you think you can give him the home he deserves, please click on the application button below to find out more about the adoption process and complete an online form application.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a adult english springer spaniel dog waiting at English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England 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 — English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England 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 (EN). 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.
