Adopt Carlos

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

Carlos is a people-oriented and affectionate male dog who quickly bonds and wants to please his owner. Although he may seem like a cuddly bear at first glance, Carlos brings energy, personality, and some challenges. He is completely relaxed around cyclists, joggers, and cars. He doesn't have a strong hunting instinct. Carlos is still unsure around other dogs and currently exhibits leash reactivity outdoors. His communication skills need further development – ideally at a good dog training school. Unfortunately, he hasn't learned to be left alone. Therefore, Carlos is looking for experienced people who can read his body language, provide him with clear guidance, and understand the breed-specific needs. He is definitely not a dog for beginners, but with the right guidance and patience, he will become a wonderful companion. He is already accustomed to wearing a muzzle, which provides security for both him and his owner in certain situations. Children in the household should be at least 14 years old and steady on their feet. Carlos is looking forward to a home with people who will give him a second chance and guide him through life with calm, structure, and affection.

Carlos ist ein menschenbezogener und liebevoller Rüde, der schnell eine Bindung aufbaut und seinem Menschen gefallen möchte. Doch auch wenn er auf den ersten Blick wie ein Kuschelbär wirkt – Carlos bringt Power, Persönlichkeit und Baustellen mit. Bei Fahrradfahrern, Joggern oder Autos ist er total entspannt.Einen besonderen Jagdtrieb hat er nicht. Im Umgang mit Artgenossen ist Carlos noch unsicher und zeigt sich derzeit draußen als Leinenpöbler.An seiner Hundekommunikation muss weiter gearbeitet werden – idealerweise in einer guten Hundeschule. Das alleine bleiben hat er leider nicht gelernt. Carlos sucht daher erfahrene Menschen, die seine Körpersprache lesen können, ihm klare Führung geben und wissen, was rassespezifisch auf sie zukommt. Er ist definitiv kein Anfängerhund, aber mit der richtigen Anleitung und Geduld wird er ein toller Begleiter. Er ist bereits an den Maulkorb gewöhnt, was ihm und seinen Menschen in manchen Situationen Sicherheit gibt. Kinder im Haushalt sollten mindestens 14 Jahre alt und standfest sein. Carlos freut sich auf Menschen, die ihm eine zweite Chance geben und ihn mit Ruhe, Strukturund Herz durchs Leben führen möchten.
