Adopt Max II

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Max II lived on the streets with his friend Apito and wouldn't let anyone hurt the old Apito! That's why he was labeled as dangerous! But he's actually a sweet, loyal male dog. He's still young enough to find a family that loves him and is ready to give him a little comfort. The years of begging on the streets have shaped him, and he is grateful for everything that comes his way. A roof over his head, food, and especially cuddles! At just under 8 years old, he's a treasure! Who will give Max II another chance at a life without fear and hunger?

Max II lebte zusammen mit seinem Freund Apito auf der Straße und ließ nicht zu, dass man dem alten Apito weh tat! Deshalb stempelte man ihn als gefährlich ab! Dabei ist er ein süßer, treuer Rüde. Er ist noch jung genug, um eine eigene Familie zu finden, die ihn liebt und bereit ist, ihm ein wenig Komfort zu schenken. Die Jahre bettelnd auf der Straße haben ihn geprägt und er ist dankbar für alles was ihm zuteilwird. Ein Dach überm Kopf, Essen und vor allem Streicheleinheiten! Er ist ein Schatz mit seinen knapp 8 Jahren! Wer gibt Max II noch die Chance auf ein Leben ohne Angst und Hunger? Bei Interesse an Max II sehr gerne bei uns melden oder gleich unsere Selbstauskunft ausfüllen!

About Max II

What life with Max II looks like

Max II is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Streetdogs Madeira e.V. in Illingen.

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 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 II, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Max II?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Streetdogs Madeira e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Max II on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Max II if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Streetdogs Madeira 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 II 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 II 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 Streetdogs Madeira e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Max II 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.
