Max

Mixed Breed · Male · 8 months

Max - Life is waiting. What else is there to wait for? Breed: Mixed Gender: Male Born: 01/2026 Size / Weight: 20 cm / 5 kg Neutered: No Vaccinated: Yes Microchip: Yes Compatible with: Male and female dogs Incompatible with: Unknown Sponsorship possible: Yes Description Max could almost be said to have fallen from the sky. Suddenly he was there - completely alone in a place with no food or water. No one knows where he came from. But where he wants to go is clear: into life. And that's exactly what Max is all about. He doesn't look back. He celebrates every new day with infectious enthusiasm, greets people kindly and curiously, and is ready for whatever lies ahead. Max has not known a real home before. He will have to learn all the things that are taken for granted by many dogs. This takes time, patience, and people who understand that education does not start at some point, but from the first day together. Loving consistency, clear guidance, and shared experiences are the foundation for the dog that Max will one day be. We are looking for people who see Max as a dog - not as a four-legged accessory. He wants to run, sniff, learn, and discover the world with his own nose. Max is looking for active people who love to be on the move just like him, who love wind, forest paths, and shared adventures, and who live life with the same enthusiasm.

Max – Das Leben wartet. Worauf eigentlich noch? → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 01/2026 → Grösse / Gewicht: 20 cm / 5 kg→ Kastriert: nein→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Man könnte fast glauben, Max wäre vom Himmel gefallen. Plötzlich war er da – mutterseelenallein an einem Ort, an dem es weder Futter noch Wasser gab. Woher er kam, weiß niemand. Wohin er jetzt möchte, dagegen schon: mitten ins Leben. Und genau das passt zu Max. Er schaut nicht zurück. Er feiert jeden neuen Tag mit einer Lebensfreude, die ansteckend ist, begegnet Menschen freundlich und neugierig und ist bereit für alles, was noch vor ihm liegt. Ein richtiges Zuhause kennt Max bisher nicht. All die Dinge, die für viele Hunde selbstverständlich sind, wird er erst noch kennenlernen. Das braucht Zeit, Geduld und Menschen, die verstehen, dass Erziehung nicht irgendwann beginnt, sondern vom ersten gemeinsamen Tag an. Liebevolle Konsequenz, klare Orientierung und gemeinsame Erlebnisse sind das Fundament für den Hund, der Max einmal sein wird. Gerade weil Max so klein ist, wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihn als Hund sehen – nicht als Accessoire auf vier Pfoten. Er möchte laufen, schnüffeln, lernen und die Welt mit seiner eigenen Nase entdecken. Max sucht aktive Menschen, die genauso gern unterwegs sind wie er, die Wind, Waldwege und gemeinsame Abenteuer lieben und das Leben mit derselben Begeis

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a small 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. 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. 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.
