Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Update: Max darf am 18.09. auf eine liebevolle Pflegestelle nach Hückelhoven / NRW reisen – und unsere Freude könnte wirklich nicht größer sein! Der wunderschöne Hundemann wird dort endlich erfahren, wie es sich anfühlt, ein warmes Körbchen zu haben, umsorgt zu werden und in einer Umgebung anzukommen, in der er gesehen und geliebt wird. Schon jetzt kann Max langsam sein Köfferchen packen und sich von seinen Hundefreunden verabschieden, denn es dauert gar nicht mehr lange, bis auch er sich auf den Weg in sein neues Leben machen darf. Für ihn beginnt ein Kapitel voller Chancen, Sicherheit und Nähe – etwas, das er so sehr verdient hat. Sobald Max sich auf seiner Pflegestelle eingelebt hat, wird es ein ausführliches Update geben – mit neuen Fotos und Eindrücken, die zeigen, wie er sich entwickelt und wie er sein neues Umfeld annimmt.Max, geboren ca. 2018 und etwa 50 cm groß, ist einer der Hunde, über die wir fast nichts wissen – außer dem, was seine Augen erzählen. Er wurde im Juni 2023 im Rahmen einer großen Rettungsaktion aus dem Public Shelter Targu Jiu geholt. Seitdem kennen wir ihn vor allem so: zusammengerollt in seiner Hütte, still, unsichtbar, bemüht, nicht aufzufallen.Ein kleines Wunder im August: Im August 2025 überraschte uns Max: Zum ersten Mal verließ er seine Hütte, wenn auch vorsichtig, zögerlich, fast ungläubig. Ein winziger Schritt für die Welt – ein riesiger Schritt für ihn. Dieser Moment zeigt, dass in Max noch Hoffnung steckt. Dass er nicht aufgegeben hat.Max bringt leider viele Eigenschaften mit, die seine

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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.

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. Vierbeiner in Not 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 — Vierbeiner in Not 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 Vierbeiner in Not 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.
