Carlo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Urgently needed is dog experience with fearful dogs... CARLO has lived in the animal shelter Velingrad since puppyhood. He thus belongs to the long-term residents of the shelter. In terms of his character, Carlo is a wonderful dog soul. But his soul is marked by great fear. The mixed breed dog needs continuous trust-building and ongoing relationship work to give him a feeling of security. This work cannot be carried out in the environment of the shelter. Carlo should get the chance for a less fearful or even fearless dog life. Therefore, we are looking for a patient and loving home for Carlo. A home with people who already have experience living with fearful dogs. Carlo will need a calm environment where work can be done together on the urgently required trust-building. We assume that Carlo will learn to trust in an appropriate environment and grow step by step into a less fearful or even fearless life. His future home should expect that the journey together with Carlo could be very long. The relationship and trust-building should initially have a purely offering character, without pressuring Carlo. A confident dog friend already living in his future home would certainly be helpful in making Carlo's adjustment easier. We are certainly only addressing a limited circle of potential adopters, but we hope that among these few, the right people for Carlo will be found. If you want to give Carlo a chance for a stress-free and happy life and want to work step by step towards this goal with him, we look forward to your sincere inquiry. Adopting a rescue dog always means taking on a special responsibility and can also become a challenge. The dogs come with a backpack of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to adjust to their new life. If you have a serious interest in adopting mixed breed Carlo, please contact the responsible adoption officer of SALVA Dog Help. We would also be very grateful for the provision of an experienced foster home. The contact details are below. >> Here you can watch Carlo's video

Hundeerfahrung mit Angsthunden wird dringend benötigt… CARLO lebt seit Welpenalter im Tierheim Velingrad. Er gehört damit zu den Langeinsitzern des Tierheims. Von seinem Wesen her ist Carlo eine wunderbare Hundeseele. Aber seine Seele ist geprägt von großer Angst. Der Mischlingsrüde bedarf eines kontinuierlichen Vertrauensaufbaus und einer kontinuierlichen Beziehungsarbeit, um ihm das Gefühl von Sicherheit geben zu können. Diese Arbeit kann in dem Lebensumfeld Tierheim nicht geleistet werden. Carlo sollte seine Chance auf ein angstreduziertes oder gar angstfreies Hundeleben bekommen. Von daher suchen wir nach einem geduldigen und liebevollen Zuhause für Carlo. Ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die bereits über Erfahrungen im Zusammenleben mit Angsthunden haben. Carlo wird ein ruhiges Umfeld benötigen, in dem mit ihm gemeinsam an der dringend erforderlichen Vertrauensarbeit gearbeitet werden kann. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Carlo in einem entsprechenden Umfeld lernen wird zu vertrauen und Schritt für Schritt in ein angstreduziertes oder gar angstfreies Leben hineinwachsen werden kann. Sein zukünftiges Zuhause sollte davon ausgehen, dass der gemeinsame Weg mit Carlo sehr lang werden könnte. Der Beziehungs- und Vertrauensaufbau sollte erst einmal einen reinen Angebotscharakter haben, ohne Carlo zu bedrängen. Eine bereits in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause lebende souveräne Hundefreundin wäre sicherlich hilfreich, um Carlo die Anpassung leichter zu machen. Wir sprechen hier sicherlich nur einen begrenzten Kreis von potentiellen Adoptanten an, aber wir hoffen, dass unter diesen wenigen, die passenden Menschen für Carlo sein werden. Wenn Sie Carlo seine Chance auf ein angstfreies und zufriedenes Leben geben wollen und mit ihm gemeinsam Schritt für Schritt an diesem Ziel arbeiten wollen, dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre ernstgemeinte Anfrage. Die Adoption eines Tierschutzhundes bedeutet immer die Übernahme einer besonderen Verantwortung und kann auch zu einer Herausforderung werden. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und benötigen Zeit zur Eingewöhnung in ihr neues Leben. Sollten Sie ernsthaftes Interesse an einer Adoption von Mischling Carlo haben, dann nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt zu der zuständigen Vermittlerin der SALVA Hundehilfe auf. Auch über die Bereitstellung einer erfahrenen Pflegestelle wären wir sehr dankbar. Die Kontaktdaten finden Sie weiter unten. >> Hier geht es zu Carlos Video

About Carlo

What life with Carlo looks like

Carlo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Carlo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carlo?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. whether they will for Carlo, what they require (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?
SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. lists Carlo as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SALVA Hundehilfe e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Carlo isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
