Maxim

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

I-No.: r-korfu-maxim-m-0326 March 2026: Maxim has a sad fate - he had to spend his life so far on a chain. He arrived at the animal shelter emaciated and in a deplorable condition. Now, Maxim is doing noticeably better; he is being treated and visibly thriving! We are not sure if he can see 100%, but he seems to manage well. At the animal shelter, Maxim is very friendly towards people and gets along well with other dogs of both sexes. Maxim is roughly estimated to be 8-10 years old and currently weighs 22kg - although he should ideally be nursed up to 25kg. He is about 56cm tall. All dogs are initially vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU pet passport.

I-Nr.: r-korfu-maxim-m-0326 März 2026: Maxim hat ein trauriges Schicksal - er musste sein bisheriges Leben an einer Kette verbringen. Er kam klapperdürr und in einem miserablen Zustand ins Tierheim. Mittlerweile geht es Maxim deutlich besser, er wird behandelt und blüht sichtlich auf! Wir sind uns nicht sicher, ob er zu 100% sehen kann, er scheint aber gut damit zurecht zu kommen. Im Tierheim ist Maxim sehr freundlich zu Menschen und verträglich mit anderen Hunden beiderlei Geschlechts. Maxim ist grob geschätzt 8-10 Jahre alt und wiegt aktuell 22kg - wobei er noch gut auf 25kg gepäppelt werden sollte. Er ist ca. 56cm groß. Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20260709 04 Maxim Juli 2026 20260709 03 Maxim Juli 2026 20260709 02 Maxim Juli 2026 20260709 01 Maxim Juli 2026 20260218 10 Maxim Februar 2026

About Maxim

What life with Maxim looks like

Maxim is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maxim, answered.

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