Charlie and Alfie

Cavapoo · Male · Adult · 8 years

Charlie (brown) and Alfie (white) are looking for a new home together where they can enjoy human company, go on nice walks and snuggle up at the end of the day. They would love company through the day, a garden and to go on adventures. No flats please, they would prefer to live in a fairly quiet area. They are both very social and love attention, Alfie in particular loves being in the middle of everything. Alfie needs regular ear cleaning but this would be covered by DAS under the Old Dog Scheme in his new home. * Charlie gives a warm welcome to all visitors and he likes meeting new people and getting attention from them. Alfie also wants to be friends with everyone and will sometimes jump up if he feels he is not getting enough attention. He will jump and sit next to someone on the sofa, he loves a cuddle. They are fine with meeting children when outside, but have not lived with any before. Alfie is very friendly with other dogs and wants to be friends, have a good sniff and play if they are friendly. Whereas Charlie can be nervous of larger, bouncy dogs, but he still wants to be friends with them. Charlie may hide behind the owner but once they have said hello to the dog, he will become more interested. Both walk well on and off-lead in a secure area. Their recall is fairly good, Alfie is definitely motivated by treats. They travel well in the car and are good at the vets. They can be left for a few hours, but Alfie is happier having someone at home. Alfie may bark once or twice if someone comes to the door, but generally the boys do not bark often. Both like a bath and brush and have been to the groomer; Alfie in particular loves a bath so much, he will jump in. Charlie is a fun boy, always up for a walk or cuddles and he will go to sleep on your legs on the sofa. Alfie is also very friendly and is happy doing a short walk or several miles. He loves food and is always sad when he finishes his dinner. *OLD DOG SCHEME: Dog Aid Scotland’s Old Dog Scheme covers dogs rehomed at 8 years old or above. This means that we will cover costs for veterinary care for the dog for the remainder of their life within reason. We do not cover costs for routine treatments such as vaccinations, worming and flea treatment. If the dog requires special dietary food we will contribute 50% of the cost. This will alleviate the worry of the financial implications taking an older dog into your home. Older dogs make great pets! Why not consider an older dog? Web Design by Technical Services Scotland.

About Charlie and Alfie

What life with Charlie and Alfie looks like

Charlie and Alfie is a adult cavapoo dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

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.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Charlie and Alfie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Charlie and Alfie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dog Aid Society of Scotland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Charlie and Alfie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Charlie and Alfie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Charlie and Alfie 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 Charlie and Alfie 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 Dog Aid Society of Scotland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charlie and Alfie 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 (EN). 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.
