Carlo

Male · Adult · 4 years

Carlo male dog Mittelgroß Freund fürs Leben It’s not every day that it’s good, but the sight of our quatschkopf Carlo certainly brightens the day. His mischievous gaze and he instantly conjures a smile. However, not everything is a sunny day, as the lively boy also carries his "old burdens" with him. Born around 2018, the German Shepherd Mix (possibly Mudi) came to us unwillingly, and his past remains his secret. His luck was perfect when he moved out in March 21 and got to experience everyday life. His life was well-filled until circumstances changed. Thus, he returned to the shelter life in January 2022. For him, like many other little souls, it was a catastrophe. He hardly finds rest and is constantly under a current. This is an important criterion that he must learn. We experience Carlo as a friendly fellow who wants to be liked. Typical of the breed, he belongs to the group of working dogs who want to be active and have their heads challenged. He quickly bonds with his person and feels responsible for them, which can be managed by dog-experienced individuals who take decisions from the start. Men were a problem for him in his stable environment, as they were proven by evaluations with strangers. As the highly intelligent one is very eager to learn, "Master" should be ready to work with positive affirmations. Similarly, he must learn to be alone, as a majority of dogs face this issue, and it is not something we present. We are convinced that after determining who takes the leading role in the human-dog partnership, this issue can be resolved on its own. Now, we are looking for those who are ready to take Carlo by the paw and help him clear the stumbling blocks together. · The story could continue harmoniously simply, if it weren’t for the backpack in his luggage. The German Shepherd Mix born around 2018 came to us unwillingly, and his past remains his secret. After he moved out on March 31 last year and learned to love his people, his journey ended in January of this year. There were many reasons. He quickly bonds with his person and feels responsible for them. Through dog-experienced individuals who take decisions from the start, even the smallest ones, this can be managed. He has problems with men. He should be trained with much positive reinforcement. We observed and experienced this during our initial assessment. He indeed makes distinctions between the male strangers. He must learn to be alone. Only a majority of dogs face this issue, and it is not something we present. With certainty, after determining who takes the leading role in the human-dog partnership, this issue can be resolved on its own. Now, we are looking for those who are ready to take Carlo by the paw and help him clear the stumbling blocks together.

Carlo Rüde Mittelgroß Freund fürs Leben Es ist nicht jeder Tag gleich, es gibt gute und schlechte. Besser geht es einem beim Anblick unseres Quatschkopfs Carlo. Sein verschmitzter Blick und schon zaubert er ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Dennoch ist nicht alles eitel Sonnenschein, auch der quirlige Junge trägt sein Rucksäckchen an "Altlasten" mit sich herum. Der ca 2018 geborene Schäferhund Mix (evtl. Mudi) kam unfreiwillig zu uns und die Vergangenheit ist nur sein Geheimnis. Sein Glück war perfekt, als er im März 21 ausziehen durfte und Menschenalltag schnuppern durfte. Es wurde sein Leben gut ausgefüllt, bis sich Umstände ändern. Somit zog er im Januar 2022 wieder in den Tierheimalltag. Für ihn, wie auch vielen anderen Seelchen, eine Katastrophe. Er kommt kaum zur Ruhe und steht ständig unter Strom. Dabei ist dies ein wichtiges Kriterium, was erlernt werden muss. Wir erleben Carlo als einen freundlichen Kerl, der unbedingt gefallen möchte. Rassetypisch zählt er zur Gruppe der Arbeitshunde, der gerne tun und aktiv sein Köpfchen fordern möchte. Er bindet sich schnell an seinen Menschen und fühlt sich für diesen verantwortlich, was durch Hundeerfahrene, die ihm von Anfang an Entscheidungen abnehmen, händelbar ist. Männer waren für ihn, im festen Umfeld, ein Problem, was sich bei Einschätzungen mit, ihm fremden, Statisten bewahrheitete. Da der Hochintelligente sehr lernwillig ist, sollte "Herrchen" bereit sein, mit positiven Bestätigungen zu arbeiten. Ebenso muss das Alleinsein trainiert werden, haben ein Großteil aller Hunde dieses Problem und stellt es uns als dieses nicht dar. Wir sind überzeugt, nach Abklärung, wer die leitende Funktion im Mensch - Hund Gespann übernimmt, ist dieses Problem allein lösbar. Nun suchen wir euch, die Bereit sind Carlo an die Pfote zu nehmen und mit ihm gemeinsam die Stolpersteine aus dem Weg räumen. · Die Geschichte könnte so harmonisch einfach weitergehen, wenn da nicht das Rucksäckchen im Gepäck läge Der ca 2018 geborene Schäferhund Mix kam unfreiwillig zu uns und die Vergangenheit ist nur sein Geheimnis. Nachdem er letztes Jahr am 31.3. ausziehen durfte, seinen Menschen lieben lernte, endete diese Reise im Januar diesen Jahres. Gründe waren es viele. Er bindet sich schnell an seinen Menschen und fühlt sich für diesen verantwortlich.

About Carlo

What life with Carlo looks like

Carlo is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Delitzsch in Delitzsch.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Carlo, answered.

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