Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Description: Our foster caregiver reports: The female dog Kira, along with her three puppies Max, Milo2, and Rex, was rescued from the streets in Risorio last December by an animal rescuer, where they had apparently been abandoned only shortly before. They were terribly cold and desperately searching for food. They were then taken to our foster caregiver’s facility in Caracal. There, Max has been living ever since with his mom and his two siblings, all of whom are also available for adoption. All three are very playful, friendly, and cuddly—both toward their foster caregiver and toward each other, as well as toward their mother, Kira. They don’t argue or fight; instead, they play lovingly together and are very well cared for and raised by their mother. Since they’re still very young, their individual personalities haven’t fully developed yet. All three are playful and full of energy. Max is still a bit shy but approachable and not afraid at all. He loves being petted and enjoys interacting with people and dogs; cats are no problem either. Despite his initial shyness, he quickly trusts others and just wants to belong. Max is a loving little dog who would love to give away his big heart... perhaps to you? Max can be adopted individually or together with one of his siblings, Milo2 or Rex. Please note: The feedback from the foster caregivers reflects the current behavior of the animals here.

Beschreibung Unsere Pflegestelle berichtet: Die Hündin Kira wurde mit ihren 3 Welpen Max, Milo2 und Rex im Dezember letzten Jahres von einem Tierschützer in Risorio von der Straße gerettet, wo sie augenscheinlich kurz zuvor ausgesetzt wurden. Sie haben schrecklich gefroren und nach Futter gesucht. Sie wurden dann zu unserer Tierschützerin ins Foster nach Caracal gebracht. Dort lebt Max bis heute mit seiner Mama und seinen zwei Geschwistern, die auch vermittelt werden. Alle drei sind sehr verspielt, freundlich und verschmust – sowohl in der Pflegestelle der Betreuerin gegenüber als auch untereinander sowie gegenüber ihrer Mutter Kira. Sie streiten oder kämpfen nicht, sondern spielen liebevoll miteinander und werden von der Mutter sehr gut betreut und erzogen. Da sie noch sehr jung sind, haben sich ihre individuellen Persönlichkeiten noch nicht vollständig entwickelt. Alle drei sind verspielt und voller Energie. Max ist noch etwas schüchtern, aber zugewandt und hat keine Angst. Er genießt Streicheleinheiten und liebt es mit Menschen und Hunden zu kommunizieren, Katzen sind auch kein Problem. Trotz seiner anfänglichen Schüchternheit schenkt er Vertrauen und möchte einfach nur dazugehören. Max ist ein liebevoller kleiner Hund und will gerne sein großes Herz verschenken ……….vielleicht an dich? Max kann einzeln oder auch mit einem seiner Geschwister Milo2 oder Rex vermittelt werden. Die 3 Brüder werden derzeit erfolgreich gegen eine Pilzinfektion an den Augen behandelt. Sie werden komplett genesen wenn die Behandlung abgeschlossen (ist in einigen Tagen).

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierischgeholfen 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 — Tierischgeholfen 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 Tierischgeholfen 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.
