Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Handsome Max is a truly special boy searching for his forever home after his previous owner sadly had to give him up due to housing circumstances. He was deeply loved and cherished, and he deserves a new family who will give him the same love, care, and happiness in return. Max is currently waiting patiently at FOAL Farm Animal Rescue in Biggin Hill, Kent for the right humans to come along and take him home. Could you be the one to give this wonderful boy the fresh start he is looking for? Handsome Max is a 13-year-old Staffie boy who is full of character and charm. He would like a calm, caring home where he can feel safe and settled again. He isn’t used to living with other dogs, so he is looking for a home where he can be the only pet and enjoy all the love and attention for himself. This sweet senior boy absolutely adores human company, tummy rubs, and being close to his people. With so much change recently, Max will need patient and understanding owners who can give him time to adjust, along with plenty of reassurance and affection. Max would love a home where someone is around for most of the day to keep him company. He could live with sensible children who understand his age and will give him the space he needs to settle comfortably. Max still enjoys going out for walks, although he can be a little wobbly on his legs and is currently receiving medication to help him stay comfortable. Despite his age, he is still strong on the lead and always seems to be in a hurry to get to the next exciting sniffing spot! Max has quickly become a firm favourite with the Foal Farm volunteers and everyone has fallen in love with him. Max is adorable ! If you can offer loving Max his forever home please contact FOAL Farm below: Fill in Foal Farm’s online application form – click here . Email: Please mention that you saw Max on Oldies Club website.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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. The Oldies Club 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 — The Oldies Club 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 The Oldies Club 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.
