Carlo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Found neglected, but he has won our hearts – will you give CARLO a chance at a new life? The handsome CARLO (born approx. 10/2024) has unfortunately already had to experience dark days in his young life. He was picked up from the street in a completely neglected state. After loving care and a grooming session, his beautiful white-and-black speckled coat and his charming little face are now shining through again. Despite his bad experiences, CARLO is an absolutely friendly and affectionate little fellow. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and copes without any problems with fellow dogs of both sexes (both females and males). Only being picked up still unsettles him somewhat at the moment – here he needs a little patience and loving guidance to learn that nothing bad will happen to him anymore. For this sweet little dwarf, roughly 30 cm tall, we are looking for a safe home that gives him the love and security he so deeply deserves. CARLO will leave the shelter after a positive pre-screening, microchipped, vaccinated, neutered and dewormed, with an EU pet passport. Friendly, good with others, still somewhat unsettled when picked up ✓ Happy to live with another dog ✓ Would like to live in the countryside – no small children in the household – no urban environment CARLO was found completely neglected on the street and brought to the animal shelter. Nothing is known about his past. Help Carlo find a home – share this with your friends ❤️

Verwahrlost gefunden, Herz im Sturm erobert – schenkst du CARLO die Chance auf ein neues Leben? Der hübsche CARLO (geboren ca. 10/2024) hat in seinem jungen Leben leider schon Schattenseiten kennenlernen müssen. Er wurde völlig verwahrlost auf der Straße aufgesammelt. Nach einer liebevollen Pflege- und Scheraktion kommt nun sein wunderschönes, weiß-schwarz gesprenkeltes Fellkleid und sein bezauberndes Gesichtchen wieder voll zur Geltung. Trotz seiner schlechten Erfahrungen zeigt sich CARLO als absolut freundlicher und zugewandter kleiner Kerl. Er versteht sich blendend mit anderen Hunden und kommt auch mit Artgenossen beider Geschlechter (sowohl Hündinnen als auch Rüden) problemlos aus. Einzig das Hochnehmen verunsichert ihn aktuell noch etwas – hier braucht er ein wenig Geduld und liebevolle Führung, um zu lernen, dass ihm nichts Böses mehr geschieht. Für den süßen und rund 30 cm großen Zwerg suchen wir ein geborgenes Zuhause, das ihm die Liebe und Sicherheit schenkt, die er so sehr verdient hat. CARLO reist nach positiver Vorkontrolle gechippt, geimpft, kastriert und entwurmt mit EU-Heimtierausweis aus. Freundlich, verträglich, beim Hochnehmen aktuell noch etwas verunsichert ✓ Gerne zu einem weiteren Hund ✓ Möchte ländlich leben - Keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt - Kein städtisches Umfeld CARLO wurde total verwahrlost auf der Straße gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht. Über seine Vorgeschichte ist nichts bekannt. Hilf Carlo, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️

About Carlo

What life with Carlo looks like

Carlo is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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.
