Max

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Tiny Man Max. As promised, we would like to give an update on the moment we believe that Max is ready for adoption. Without much pride, we must inform you that the little Max is ready for a new owner. He has been doing well over the past few weeks. Of course, it was sometimes quite challenging for him, but we notice that he is recovering more quickly after something he experiences as exciting. It is important to closely follow and assess when it is too much for him and then ensure he is protected and can regain his peace. He is getting better, looking at other dogs more calmly from a distance. Once you are in his heart, you are deeply there. Such a mega loyal little one looks at you lovingly and enjoys the time spent together, a little snuggling (his paw indicates that you should keep going when you pause). He wants to lie close to you and then enjoy the sun together. He is truly a manke (a small, short-legged dog) that we wish to set free into the world. Who or what are we looking for? A single man or woman (it could be a couple), with a very small social life. It might sound a bit odd, but for Max, that would be ideal. A place where he can be completely together with his owner(s) so no other dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, etc. Just you and Max. Max is a mix of a reutje with an estimated birthdate of May 20, 2022, and an end height of approximately 35 centimeters.

Kleine man Max. Zoals beloofd zouden we een update geven op t moment dat wij inschatten dat Max klaar is voor adoptie. Niet zonder veel trots mogen we jullie melden dat de kleine Max toe is aan een nieuwe baas. Hij heeft het de afgelopen weken keurig gedaan. Tuurlijk was het soms best lastig voor hem maar we merken dat hij zich steeds sneller hersteld na iets wat hij als spannend ervaart. Belangrijk is om goed te volgen en in te schatten wanneer het voor hem te veel is en daar dan voor zorgen dat hij beschermd wordt en vooral de rust weer herpakken. Hij kan steeds beter, rustig op afstand kijken naar andere honden. Als je eenmaal in zijn hart zit dan zit je daar diep. Zo’n mega trouw koppie kijkt je dan verliefd aan en geniet van lekker samen zijn, beetje knuffelen (zijn pootje geeft wel aan dat je door moet gaan als je even stopt ) Hij wil graag dicht tegen je aan liggen en dan samen genieten van t zonnetje. Het is echt een manneke die we de wereld gunnen. Wie of wat zoeken we? Een alleenstaande man of vrouw (samen mag ook ) met eigenlijk een heel klein sociaal leven. Klinkt beetje gek maar voor Max zou dat ideaal zijn. Een plek waar hij helemaal samen mag zijn met zijn baas(jes) dus geen andere honden, katten, vogels, konijnen etc. Just you and Max Max is een mix reutje met een geschatte geboortedatum van 20 mei 2022 en een eindhoogte van circa 35 centimeter.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a very small adult mixed breed dog waiting at DOC Oldenzaal in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. DOC Oldenzaal 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 — DOC Oldenzaal 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 DOC Oldenzaal 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 (NL). 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.
