How do I contact the shelter about Max?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze 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 — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Schronisko Zabrze 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 (PL). 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.

Adopt Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Unfortunately, my new family couldn't meet my demands and now I'm waiting again in the shelter for a home :-( 15.12.2025I moved in with my new family in Gliwice 18.08.2025Hello, this is Maks! I'm about a year old, medium-sized and... it's hard not to notice me??? I ended up in the animal shelter on June 15, 2025 - according to the "official version," they found me wandering near Okrzei street. The truth is a bit different - I was just too... myself. They couldn't handle me, I didn't get along with the other dog and that's how I ended up here. Well, what can I say... a volcano of energy is an understatement. I am a force of nature - a turbocharged dog. I need a caregiver who has a lot of time, patience and willingness to work with me. I know it's a big challenge - but believe me, it's worth it. Because I really want to learn and be the best version of myself. I already know "sit" and I perform this command like a professional - someone once worked a little with me. And the best thing is that I'm very obedient - I absorb knowledge like a sponge and I'm just waiting for someone to show me how to be a well-behaved dog with rules. High excitement is something that needs to be worked on, but I hope that after the planned neutering (soon!) it will be easier. I have current vaccinations, I'm dewormed and ready for a new life - maybe with you? If you're looking for a dog with a heart as big as Texas, the energy of a marathon runner and great potential - come meet me. Maybe I'll be the one to make your days full of joy (and a little challenges - but positive ones!) 18.08.

Niestety, maja nowa rodzina nie podołała moim wymaganiom i znów czekam w psitulu na domek :-( 15.12.2025Zamieszkałem ze swoją nową rodzinką w Gliwicach 18.08.2025Cześć, tu Maks! Mam około roku, jestem średniej wielkości i… raczej nie da się mnie nie zauważyć ???? Trafiłem do schroniska 15 czerwca 2025 r. – według "oficjalnej wersji" znaleziono mnie błąkającego się przy ul. Okrzei. Prawda jednak jest trochę inna – byłem po prostu za bardzo... sobą. Nie radzili sobie ze mną, nie dogadywałem się z drugim psem i tak oto trafiłem tutaj. No i cóż mogę powiedzieć… wulkan energii to mało powiedziane. Jestem żywiołem w czystej postaci – taki pies turbo doładowany. Potrzebuję opiekuna, który ma dużo czasu, cierpliwości i chęci, by ze mną pracować. Wiem, że to spore wyzwanie – ale uwierz mi, warto. Bo ja naprawdę chcę się uczyć i być najlepszą wersją siebie. Wiem już, co to „siad” i wykonuję tę komendę jak zawodowiec – ktoś kiedyś trochę ze mną pracował. A najlepsze jest to, że jestem bardzo plastyczny – chłonę wiedzę jak gąbka i tylko czekam, aż ktoś pokaże mi, jak być grzecznym psem z zasadami. Wysokie pobudzenie to coś, nad czym trzeba popracować, ale mam nadzieję, że po planowanym zabiegu kastracji (już niedługo!) będzie łatwiej.Mam aktualne szczepienia, jestem odrobaczony i gotowy na nowe życie – może właśnie z Tobą?Jeśli szukasz psa, który ma serce wielkości Teksasu, energię maratończyka i ogromny potencjał – przyjdź mnie poznać. Może to ja sprawię, że Twoje dni staną się pełne radości (i trochę wyzwań – ale takich pozytywnych!) 18.08.2025 zamieszkałem ze swoją nową rodzinką w Gliwicach

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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 Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
