Story: Carlota was found alone at a campsite belonging to a traveling group. They moved on, and Carlota was left behind. Her chip made it possible to locate her former owner, who, however, is no longer interested in her and would no longer be able to care for her. She now lives at our partner shelter APAC in Portugal, where she is waiting for a new home. Behavior: Carlota presumably did not have a pleasant past and needs some time to build trust. When it comes to contact with other dogs, sympathy also decides. At the shelter, she gets along without any problems with Pablo (likewise in the

Geschichte: Carlota wurde alleine auf einem Campingplatzes eines Wandervolkes gefunden. Sie zogen weiter und Carlota blieb alleine zurück. Durch ihren Chip konnte ihr früherer Besitzer ausfindig gemacht werden, welcher aber kein Interesse mehr an ihr hat und sie auch nicht mehr versorgen könnte. Daher lebt sie nun in unserem Partnertierheim APAC in Portugal und wartet dort auf ein neues Zuhause. Verhalten: Carlota hatte vermutlich keine schöne Vergangenheit und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Auch beim Kontakt mit anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie.

About Carlota

What life with Carlota looks like

Carlota is a medium-sized senior german shepherd dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Carlota, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carlota?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Carlota on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carlota if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Carlota 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 Carlota 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 Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Carlota 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.
