Adopt Carlos

Male · Adult · 5 years

Our whirlwind Carlos originally came from Spain and is now on the hunt for a new home. The male dog is very people-oriented, but he lacked both education and mental stimulation in his previous home. The animal shelter can of course not provide him with the necessary intensity of these things, and it is becoming increasingly clear how Carlos's underutilization is affecting him. The male dog is now searching for a new family where the people have time for him and can meet his energy with the necessary calm and consistency. Due to his breed, Carlos has a strong prey drive and should therefore not be rehomed to other animals. He is generally compatible with fellow animals depending on their affinity.

Unser Wirbelwind Carlos kommt ursprünglich aus Spanien und ist nun auf der Suche nach einem neuen Wirkungskreis. Der Rüde ist sehr menschenbezogen, allerdings fehlte es ihm in seinem bisherigen Zuhause sowohl an Erziehung als auch an Beschäftigung. Beides kann ihm natürlich auch das Tierheim nicht in der benötigten Intensität bieten, hier zeigt sich zunehmend, wie Carlos seine Unterforderung zu schaffen macht. Der Rüde sucht nun nach einer neuen Familie, in dem die Menschen Zeit für ihn haben und seiner Energie mit der nötigen Ruhe und Konsequenz entgegen treten. Rassebedingt hat Carlos einen starken Jagdtrieb und sollte daher nicht zu anderen Tieren vermittelt werden. Mit seinen Artgenossen ist er je nach Sympathie verträglich.

About Carlos

What life with Carlos looks like

Carlos is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Tierheim Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: High energy dog with strong hunting drive, needs consistent training and mental stimulation

🇩🇪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 Wiesbaden 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 Wiesbaden 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 Wiesbaden 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.
