Bob & Charlie

Mixed Breed · Male

Bob and Charlie are large podenco mixed brothers with big hearts and a very kind nature. They are still desperately looking for a home together due to the death of their owner leaving mum to look after the boys. She is now having to sell the home, so would love to see them settled in a new home. A message from their mum: “They love people no matter the age, small kids will have their face licked off as they can reach. They do not jump up, but will certainly welcome you. As big as they are they think they are lap dogs. At night they sleep in my bedroom but come near morning Charlie will sneak up on the bed. Charlie is the boss and he looks after his brother. He does like his love, especially his shoulders being massaged, but not as much as Bob. Bob could be tickled all day long, even to pulling your hand to keep stroking him when you stop. They will sit watching while you eat but they do not beg. If you open a biscuit tin or packet of cheese, does not matter where they are, they will smell or hear it. Their senses are amazing! They can be left for a few hours, they will just sleep I have had no complaints of any barking when I leave the house, the neighbours know when I arrive home though, they bark to greet. They are good guard dogs, they only bark if there is a knock on the door or if someone is passing, but they are only saying hello we are here there is not a dangerous bone in their body. They are good with other dogs, they used to have a little play mate, and she ran them ragged. Although cats they would chase out of the garden. They do need training on the lead, due to circumstances they have not been walked enough and not for a long time either. Bob will settle on the lead but Charlie tends to pull a lot and he is very strong. They get excited in the car. Bob is very scared at the vets. Charlie has no problem. They have their passports and vaccinations, worming etc are all up to date. Over all they are very laid back and relaxed dogs and will be sorry to see them leave.” If you would like any information about these boys please contact Amanda WhatsApp .

About Bob & Charlie

What life with Bob & Charlie looks like

Bob & Charlie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at APSA in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bob & Charlie, answered.

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