Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Max was supposed to breed a Siberian Husky female in Romania, but unfortunately the chemistry between the two dogs did not work out and Max did not fulfill his assigned task "satisfactorily." This resulted in Max no longer being wanted, and after his original owner also did not want him back, Max was to be put on the street. Bias' father found out and asked Bia for help. Thus, Max, instead of ending up on the street and becoming a victim of dog catchers, still had the luck to find a place in the shelter. He was already vaccinated as a puppy and thus has a good basic protection. Bia says he is a "good boy!" We don't have much more information about him. He is an eye-catcher with one blue and one brown eye. Perhaps a Husky lover in Germany will find Max and offer him a life suitable for a Husky.

Max sollte in Rumänien eine Husky-Hündin decken….aber „leider“ stimmte die Chemie zwischen den zwei Hunden wohl nicht und Max kam seiner ihm zugedachten Aufgabe nicht „zufriedenstellend“ nach. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass Max nicht mehr gewollt war und nachdem ihm auch sein ursprünglicher Besitzer nicht zurück haben wollte, sollte Max auf die Straße gesetzt werden. Bias Vater bekam dies mit und fragte Bia und Hilfe. So hatte Max, anstelle auf der Straße zu landen und Opfer der Hundefänger zu werden, doch noch das Glück, Platz im Shelter zu finden. Er war schon als Welpe grundimmunisiert worden und hat somit schon einen guten Grundschutz. Bia sagt er sei ein „guter Junge“! Viel mehr Informationen haben wir noch nicht zu ihm. Ein Eyecatcher ist er, mit seinem einen blauen und einem braunen Auge. Vielleicht findet sich ja ein Husky-Liebhaber in Deutschland, der Max ein Husky-gerechtes Leben bieten möchte.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Friends for Life Germany e.V. in Hemer.

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. Friends for Life Germany e.V. 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 — Friends for Life Germany e.V. 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 Friends for Life Germany e.V. 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.
