Maxi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Hi, they call me Maxi and this is my story 😞 I have lived on the street for half my life but I have survived. People had been seeing me wandering the streets for almost a year. Finally there was a very sweet woman from Romania, she could no longer stand me wandering through the streets, especially because it was getting colder. She took me in and I was extremely grateful and happy. Until fate decided otherwise. My dear lady and her brother developed serious health problems and had to leave Cyprus. She first looked for another family, but that didn’t work and then she called the Hope for Homeless shelter. I was allowed to come here and the volunteers from Hope for Homeless promised to find me a nice spot. In any case, she promised that I wouldn’t have to live on the street anymore. So now I ask anyone who wants to read this and who wants to take care of me. Im already more than a year here at the shelter waiting and waiting 😞😞 but none got interested for me… I am extremely grateful, I keep my basket and spot nice and clean, I love walking and I love people. I enjoy the hugs, the caresses and the attention to the fullest. But I can also give maximum love. I am not a known breed, I am a crossbreed, but I am unique. There must be a nice owner who wants to spoil me and take me for a walk. Who pays attention to me. All I want is to enjoy life to the fullest with an owner for the rest of my life. If you would like to do that with me, you should call and ask for me. I’m ready to come and cuddle.

About Maxi

What life with Maxi looks like

Maxi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Maxi in Cyprus.

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 Cyprus

Cypriot rescues focus heavily on cross-border placements (the island has more strays than local adopters). Animals are fully vetted before flying. The adopter pays the transport, while the shelter coordinates vaccinations, chipping, and the passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maxi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maxi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Maxi handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maxi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maxi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Maxi 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 Maxi 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 Maxi 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 Maxi early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maxi 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.
