Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Max is a sweet-natured, affectionate boy whose gentle personality quickly captures hearts. Rescued from a kill shelter in Romania alongside his sister, Mandy, Max was understandably worried when he first arrived. The world felt uncertain, and he needed a little time to realise he was finally safe. After just a few days, Max began to relax, and his truly adorable personality started to shine through. Once he felt reassured, it became clear that he is a loving, friendly dog who thrives on human connection. He absolutely adores attention and is happiest when he’s close to his people, enjoying all the affection they have to offer. Max also has a playful side and loves to engage with toys, making him a lovely mix of cuddly companion and fun-loving friend. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time together, Max is simply content being part of a caring home where he feels secure and loved. We believe Max would do best in a patient, understanding home that can continue to build his confidence and help him feel safe as he settles into family life. With the right support, he will continue to blossom into a loyal and devoted companion. Max’s Ideal Home:

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Just For Dogs (East Midlands) in United Kingdom.

An young 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Just For Dogs (East Midlands) 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 — Just For Dogs (East Midlands) 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 Just For Dogs (East Midlands) 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 (EN). 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.
