Maximus

Mixed Breed · Male

Temperament: Maximus is a young dog of the terrier type, who bursts with energy and joy of life as befits the breed. He loves long walks - for him it is not only a form of exercise, but also a way to calm his emotions. He is the ideal companion for walks in the forest and running. When there are no other dogs nearby, Maximus is very eager for moments of affection. Although he is not a big dog, he can surprise with strength - during walks he sometimes pulls, especially when something interests him. He has a strong hunting instinct, so he does not get along with other animals - especially cats. We believe that in a home environment Maximus will calm down, but for now walks are demanding, he reacts with barking and pulling on the leash at dogs, cats, or generally animals. On the other hand, city traffic and urban surroundings do not affect him much - he copes very well in such conditions. For Maximus we are looking for a home:

Usposobienie: Maximus to młody psiak w typie jagdterriera, który tryska energią i radością życia jak to na rasę przystało. Uwielbia długie spacery – to dla niego nie tylko forma ruchu, ale też sposób na wyciszenie emocji. Jest idealnym kompanem na spacery po lesie i do biegania. Gdy w pobliżu nie ma innych psów, Maximus bardzo chętnie przychodzi na chwile czułości. Choć nie jest dużym psem, potrafi zaskoczyć siłą – na spacerach zdarza mu się pociągnąć, zwłaszcza gdy coś go zainteresuje. Ma silny instynkt łowiecki, dlatego nie dogaduje się z innymi zwierzętami – szczególnie z kotami. Wierzymy, że w domowych warunkach Maximus zejdzie z wysokich emocji, jednak na tą chwilę spacery są wymagające, reaguje szczekaniem i ciągnięciem na smyczy na psy, koty, czy ogólnie zwierzęta. Za to ruch uliczny i miejskie otoczenie nie robią na nim większego wrażenia – radzi sobie w takich warunkach bardzo dobrze. Dla Maximusa szukamy domu: – cierpliwego, stabilnego, który rozumie potrzeby teriera – aktywnego, gotowego do pracy nad wyciszeniem Maxa – w spokojnej okolicy, blisko zielonych terenów – bez innych zwierząt

About Maximus

What life with Maximus looks like

Maximus is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 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. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu 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 — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu 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 Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu 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.
