Max

Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

Hi everyone, my name is Max. I am a Covid 19 puppy and unfortunately when my previous family went back to work after the lockdowns, they no longer had any time left for me. I was very sad as I thought they loved me as much as I loved them. One day I was taken from my home and arrived at the vets, then I heard them say to the vet they didn’t want me anymore and to put me to sleep. I was so frightened as I didn’t want to go to sleep, I still have so much life to live! Thankfully the people at Sera Husky & Animal Rescue saved me. I am now enjoying life and have the best time playing with my pen mates. I am a very sociable young champ and would suit an active household. I really enjoy my walks. If you could find it in your heart to give me my forever home, I would be eternally grateful and be the best boy for you. Max is a very sociable one year old and would be a wonderful addition to any household. He gets on very well with other dogs. As he is a young, he requires some training but he’s very smart and learns fast. He is such a sweet boy. “Not all homes should have a dog, but all dogs should have a home”

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a young adult collie dog waiting at Sera Husky & Animal Rescue in V31 WE16.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

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. Sera Husky & Animal Rescue 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 — Sera Husky & Animal Rescue 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 Sera Husky & Animal Rescue 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.
