MAXIMUS

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Large, strong and energetic MAXIMUS is looking for a home. 🐾 MAXIMUS is an adult strong dog. He is selective in his interactions with people and needs time, calmness and several meetings to trust new people. When he gets to know someone and accepts them, he becomes a pleasant and loyal companion. He is very happy to see caregivers and volunteers who go out for walks with him. MAXIMUS can pull strongly on a leash, and during play he can be very unpredictable and strong in his emotions, so he needs someone who can handle him physically and has experience with dogs of high strength and energy. 🥹 MAXIMUS will require further training, patience and consistency, so we are looking for a caregiver who is aware of the dog's needs, ready to build a relationship step by step. We are looking for a home without children for Maximus. Trial walks are required so that the dog can feel safe and confident with the future caregiver. FOR adoption PLEASE HAVE YOUR OWN leash AND COLLAR. The description is written based on the observation of the dog in the animal shelter. MAXIMUS is under the care of OTOZ Animals animal shelter in Tczew. Shelter registration number: 195/24 The male is vaccinated, dewormed, neutered and castrated.

About MAXIMUS

What life with MAXIMUS looks like

MAXIMUS is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting MAXIMUS, answered.

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