How do I contact the shelter about Mäxchen?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mäxchen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mäxchen if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not 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 Mäxchen 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 Mäxchen 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 A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mäxchen 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.

Mäxchen

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Kind-hearted, modest, calm, and compatible. With an estimated age of 5 years, Mäxchen is one of our younger emergencies. An accident probably caused his deformed front leg. Since it was not medically treated, it never grew properly and now it's too late for surgery. Mäxchen is a very nice, modest dog. He has gotten along well with all the dogs at the animal shelter and prefers to be alone. On the street where he was found, he would have had little chance of survival. He cannot walk long distances and would have been unable to defend himself. In a protected environment, he still has many years ahead. Mäxchen is a big dog. When he stands, you can stroke him on the head without bending down. We would very much like a home for him. But of course, we are aware that his chances are not good. It would have to be a ground-floor home with a garden and daily walks for Mäxchen would simply not be feasible. At our animal shelter, Mäxchen has a fixed safe place and perhaps one day there will be a happy ending for Mäxchen. All are vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU ID. They are checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our homepage. Every dog placed makes room for one of those dogs who live in hunger and emaciation.

DE·Show original

freundlich, bescheiden, ruhig, verträglich Mit geschätzten 5 Jahren gehört Mäxchen zu unseren jüngeren Notfällen. Ein Unfall hat vermutlich zu seinem deformierten Vorderbein geführt. Da es medizinisch nicht versorgt wurde ist es nie richtig zusammengewachsen und nun ist es für eine Operation zu spät. Mäxchen ist ein sehr netter bescheidener Hund. Mit allen Hunden ist er bisher im Tierheim verträglich und liegt lieber für sich. Auf der Straße, wo er gefunden wurde, hätte er kaum eine Überlebenschance gehabt. Große Entfernungen schafft er nicht zu laufen und er hätte sich niemals verteidigen können. In einer geschützen Umgebung hat er noch viele Jahre vor sich. Mäxchen ist ein großer Hund. Wenn er steht kann man ihn ohne sich zu bücken am Kopf streicheln. Ein Zuhause würden wir ihm sehr wünschen. Uns ist aber natürlich bewusst, dass seine Chancen nicht gut sind. Es müsste ein ebenerdiges Zuhause sein mit einem Garten und tägliche Spaziergänge für Mäxchen einfach nicht machbar sind. Er hat bei uns im Tierheim einen festen sicher Platz und vielleicht gibt es irgendwann für Mäxchen doch noch ein Happy End. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Mäxchen

What life with Mäxchen looks like

Mäxchen is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.
