Max

Male · Adult · 6 years

Max is looking for a new home with spaniel experience where he can go for long walks and continue his training. Max would love a couch to relax on! He has lived in a house but is used to being in a kennel while his owner is at work. Max is very loving with people in the home but he does not seek attention from people or dogs outside, he will allow a pet but he does not look for it. Again, he would not initiate play with other dogs when out but does not mind them. Max can be left for a few hours. He enjoys travelling in the car and jumps into the boot. On walks, he can pull on the lead and is happier off lead, although his recall is hit or miss due his love of a good sniff. This could be worked on in his new home, Max likes using his brain and would enjoy training. He is calm at the vets. Max tolerates being washed and is fine being brushed. He is used to sleeping in his crate. Max is very excited in the mornings but calms down once he has been let out in the garden. Max loves to run around in a grassy park chasing birds. He loves chew toys (the hardier ones as he will chew through others too quickly), and he loves food, which he will eat too fast so needs a slow feeder. He is calm in the home and can relax all day, enjoying snuggles on the couch. Web Design by Technical Services Scotland. Need a website? Enquire Here

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a adult dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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 — Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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.
