Max

Mixed Breed · Male

Max is a large Münsterländer male dog. He was taken from an unworthy husbandry by the veterinary office. His data is therefore relatively slim. We can only estimate his age to be 10+ years. Max is friendly with fellow animals and with people, and we can also imagine him in a household with smaller or larger children. He, however, has a particular interest in - well, let's just say, hunting cats. In the car, Maxe is a pleasant passenger, and at the vet, he shows himself to be a perfect gentleman - and that during ear treatments, which were surely painful. We assume that Max can be left alone for a few hours, and he neither makes a fuss nor causes any damage if he is not under observation. Please also leave a message on the answering machine. During our work with the animals, we do not have a phone in our pockets, as we need our full attention. However, we regularly take time to listen to and return the messages.

Max ist ein großer Münsterländer Rüde. Ihn hat das Veterinäramt aus einer unwürdigen Haltung fortgenommen. Seine Datenlage ist von daher relativ schmal. Wir können sein Alter nur auf 10+ schätzen. Max ist freundlich mit Artgenossen und mit Menschen, auch einen Haushalt mit kleineren oder größeren Kindern können wir uns für ihn vorstellen. Katzen hat er allerdings zum - naja, also mindestens zum Jagen gern. Im Auto ist Maxe ein angenehmer Beifahrer und beim Tierarzt zeigt er sich als vollendeter Gentleman - und das bei Ohrenbehandlungen, die sicherlich schmerzhaft waren. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Max gut ein paar Stündchen alleine bleiben kann, hier macht er weder Radau noch kaputt, wenn er nicht unter Beobachtung steht. Bitte sprechen Sie auch auf den Anrufbeantworter. Bei der Arbeit mit den Tieren haben wir kein Telefon in der Tasche, denn wir brauchen unsere volle Aufmerksamkeit. Wir nehmen uns aber zwischendurch regelmäßig Zeit, das Band abzuhören und zurückzurufen.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzhof Geißblatt in Warpe.

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. Tierschutzhof Geißblatt 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 — Tierschutzhof Geißblatt 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 Tierschutzhof Geißblatt 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.
