Carlos

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Carlos is looking for a home ❤️ Carlos is an unneutered male dog around 5-8 years old. He is a Border Collie-German Shepherd mix and unfortunately experiences a lot of stress at the shelter. Carlos wants one thing above all: to be with his human. He benefits from the closeness and attention of people and it shows that he longs for a home of his own where he can relax and build trust. Carlos is not particularly friendly with other dogs at the moment. He still needs to learn and needs people who can show him with patience, calmness and loving guidance that he doesn't have to handle everything on his own. We wish Carlos a quiet, understanding home with people who are willing to learn with him and give him the time he needs. A home where he can finally arrive and is not exposed to the stress of shelter life.

Carlos sucht sein Zuhause ❤️ Carlos ist ein unkastrierter Rüde im Alter von etwa 5–8 Jahren. Er ist ein Schäferhund-Border-Collie-Mischling und hat im Tierheim leider sehr großen Stress. Dabei möchte Carlos vor allem eines: bei seinem Menschen sein. Die Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit von Menschen tun ihm gut, und man merkt ihm an, dass er sich nach einem eigenen Zuhause sehnt, in dem er zur Ruhe kommen und Vertrauen aufbauen darf. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Carlos derzeit noch nicht besonders freundlich. Hier muss er noch einiges lernen und braucht Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevollen Führung zeigen, dass er nicht alles alleine regeln muss. Für Carlos wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, verständnisvolles Zuhause bei Menschen die bereit sind, gemeinsam mit ihm zu lernen und ihm die Zeit geben, die er braucht. Ein Zuhause, in dem er endlich ankommen darf und nicht dem Stress des Tierheimalltags ausgesetzt ist.

About Carlos

What life with Carlos looks like

Carlos is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Eisenach in Eisenach.

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 Carlos, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carlos?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Eisenach 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 Eisenach 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 Eisenach 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.
