Adopt Carlos

Mixed Breed · Male · 3 years

Carlos is a friendly, larger male dog who originally came from an international animal shelter, which is why he doesn't know any commands yet. Therefore, he has to learn everything from the beginning. His first command, "sit," has already sunk in. But the male dog is smart and is happy to learn something new! He doesn't like to have his paws or chest touched (that still needs to be trained), but he loves it when his head is scratched! Carlos goes nicely on the leash and ignores other dogs while walking. Off-leash, he is generally friendly. However, he has a strong resource guarding behavior when it comes to treats, which must be watched out for. The handsome male dog is looking for a home in a rural area – city life overwhelms him.

Carlos ist ein freundlicher, größerer Rüde und kommt ursprünglich aus dem Auslandstierschutz, weshalb er noch keine Kommandos kennt.Daher muss er alles von Grund auf neu erlernen.Sein erstes Kommando "Sitz" hat er bereits verinnerlicht. Aber der Rüde ist schlau und freut sich, wenn man ihm etwas Neues beibringen möchte! Er möchte weder an den Pfoten, noch an der Brust berührt werden. (Das muss noch trainiert werden.) Dafür liebt er es, am Kopf gekrault zu werden! Carlos geht brav an der Leine und ignoriert dabei andere Hunde. Abseits des Spazierganges ist er nach Sympathie verträglich.Er hat allerdings eine starke Ressourcenverteidigung bei Knabbereien. Darauf muss geachtet werden.Der hübsche Rüde sucht ein Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung - Das Stadtleben überfordert ihn. Helfen Sie uns, Leben zu retten!

About Carlos

What life with Carlos looks like

Carlos is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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.

Note from the shelter: Resource guarding with treats, dislikes being touched on paws and chest, needs rural environment, requires basic training

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Carlos, answered.

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