Adopt MAX

Podenco · Male

MAX and his brothers Charly and Roy (both also with us at our shelter) grew up as a family unit. However, as it is not allowed for the owner to keep so many dogs, he has to part ways with the three of them. MAX and Charly are currently staying at a dog boarding facility, while Roy still lives with the owner. Like his two brothers, MAX hasn't learned much yet and is initially somewhat uncertain and reserved around strangers. Therefore, we are looking for dog-experienced people who have the time and patience to teach him the basics and provide him with the necessary security. Children in the new home should be older. MAX is an active young dog who gets along excellently with other animals. It is unknown whether he gets along with cats. We are searching for a home for MAX with animal-loving people who have the appropriate sense of responsibility, time, financial means, structures, and lots of love and affection for a long dog life. Upon arrival, MAX will be vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. Who will give this active young dog a dog bed in his own happy home?

Max und seine Brüder Charly und Roy (beide ebenfalls bei uns in der Die drei Rüden sind im Familienverband groß geworden, da es dem Besitzer jedoch leider nicht erlaubt ist, so viele Hunde zu halten, muss er sich von den dreien trennen. Max und Charly sind derzeit in einer Hundepension untergebracht, Roy lebt noch beim Besitzer. Max hat wie seine beiden Brüder bisher noch nicht viel gelernt und ist fremden Menschen gegenüber anfangs noch etwas verunsichert und zurückhaltend. Daher suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die Zeit und Geduld haben, ihm das Hunde-Einmal-Eins beizubringen und ihm die nötige Sicherheit geben können. Kinder im neuen Zuhause sollten schon größer sein. Max ist ein aktiver Junghund, der mit Artgenossen hervorragend zurechtkommt. Ob er sich auch mit Katzen verträgt ist nicht bekannt. Für Max suchen wir ein Zuhause bei tierlieben Menschen mit entsprechendem Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Zeit, finanziellen Mitteln, Strukturen und ganz viel Liebe und Zuneigung für ein langes Hundeleben. Bei Einreise ist Max geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Wer schenkt dem aktiven Junghund ein Körbchen in seinem eigenen Happy Home?

About MAX

What life with MAX looks like

MAX is a adult podenco dog waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. in Germany.

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 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. Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. 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 — Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. 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.
