MAXI

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

This 2-year-old (2022) 15-kilo dog, named Max, was once a beloved pet with a home and family. However, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, his owner was no longer able to care for him, and Max found himself in a Spanish animal shelter. It was a difficult transition for Max, who missed his owner, his familiar surroundings, and his routine. Despite this upheaval, Max remains a kind, social, and gentle dog, open to forming connections with people and getting along well with other dogs. He is a sociable boy who enjoys making friends and being part of a community.

Veel hondjes komen niet in het asiel terecht omdat ze iets verkeerd hebben gedaan. Ze komen daar terecht omdat het leven van mensen soms anders loopt dan gehoopt. Deze lieve jongen van 2 jaar oud (2022), ongeveer 15 kilo, had een baasje. Iemand bij wie hij hoorde. Maar door persoonlijke omstandigheden kon zijn baasje niet meer voor hem zorgen en zo belandde Max in ons asiel in Spanje. En eerlijk is eerlijk: dat vond hij moeilijk.Max miste zijn baasje. Zijn vertrouwde plek. Zijn gewone leven. Wie Max leert kennen, ziet al snel wat voor bijzondere hond hij is. Want ondanks alles is hij lief gebleven. Sociaal. Zacht. Open naar mensen. En met andere honden? Daar kan hij prima mee overweg. Max is een echte sociale jongen die graag contact maakt en het fijn vindt om erbij te horen.

About MAXI

What life with MAXI looks like

MAXI is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa in —.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa 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 — Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa 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 Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa 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 (NL). 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.
