How do I contact the shelter about Max?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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.

Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Max – the leader with the heart in the right place → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male→ Born: 01/2020 → Size / Weight: 55 cm / 25 kg→ Neutered: yes→ Vaccinated: yes→ Identification: Chip→ Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs→ Incompatible with: n/a→ Sponsorships possible: yes Description Max is an active male dog who wants to live life to the fullest. He is a real bundle of energy, always ready to run, play, and gather new experiences. With him, you can expect adventure and he is always ready to explore the big world, but also to cuddle and relax. He combines everything – adventure and cozy evenings. Max is a dog who likes to take the lead, he looks for dogs that will follow him and play with him without causing conflicts. What’s important is that the other dogs are not dominant but rather willing to submit. Max is looking for someone who is on his level – someone who is confident, active, and engaged. Max needs someone who understands him and recognizes his needs. He is looking for someone who challenges and supports him, but also sets boundaries and shows him what is right and wrong. With such a person, Max can build a deep and fulfilling relationship. As a family dog, Max is still a bit rough around the edges. He needs to learn to follow commands, not pull on the leash, and behave well in public spaces.

Mit ihm kann man was erleben und er ist immer bereit, das große Ganze von der Welt zu erkunden, aber auch zu kuscheln und zu entspannen. Er vereint das gesamte Paket – Abenteuer und gemütliche Abende. Max ist ein Hund, der gerne die Führung übernimmt, er sucht nach Hunden, die sich ihm anschließen und mit ihm spielen, ohne dass es zu Konflikten kommt. Wichtig ist, dass die anderen Hunde nicht dominant sind, sondern sich gerne unterordnen. Max sucht nach einem Menschen, der ihm ebenbürtig ist – jemand, der selbstbewusst, aktiv und engagiert ist. Max braucht einen Menschen, der ihn versteht und seine Bedürfnisse erkennt. Er sucht nach jemandem, der ihn fordert und fördert, aber auch Grenzen setzt und ihm zeigt, was richtig und falsch ist. Mit einem solchen Menschen kann Max eine tiefe und erfüllende Beziehung aufbauen. Als Familienhund ist Max noch ein bisschen ungeschliffen. Er muss lernen, auf Kommando zu hören, nicht an der Leine zu ziehen und sich in öffentlichen Räumen gut zu benehmen. Aber mit seiner positiven Einstellung und

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
