How do I contact the shelter about Charlie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Starnberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Charlie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Charlie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Starnberg 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 Charlie 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 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 Starnberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charlie 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.

Adopt Charlie

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 11 years

Charlie is looking for a new home! I am Charlie and a sweet, loving, and lively 10-year-old purebred Yorkshire Terrier boy. I am not fully house-trained yet, but the paw helpers are helping me diligently. Unfortunately, I am not entirely healthy and need medication for my heart and kidneys. My teeth also need treatment. I get along well with other dogs, but there are very rare occasions when I cannot smell certain dogs. I love ball games and am also watchful. I dream of a loving home where I never have to be alone. It’s no problem to be left alone for an hour while you run errands, but I would much rather be with you all the time. It would be great if you don’t work full-time and have plenty of time for me. A spayed female dog would be fine, but I would be your sole prince.

Charlie sucht ein neues Zuhause! Ich bin Charlie und ein süßer, lieber und aufgeweckter 10-jähriger Reinrassiger Yorkshire-Terrier-Bub. Ich bin noch nicht ganz stubenrein, aber die Pfotenhelfer helfen mir fleißig dabei. Leider bin ich nicht ganz gesund und benötige Medikamente für mein Herz und meine Nieren. Auch meine Zähne müssen noch behandelt werden. Mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich gut, nur ganz selten gibt es Hunde, die ich nicht riechen kann. Ich liebe Ballspiele und bin auch wachsam. Ich träume von einem liebevollen Zuhause, in dem ich nie alleine sein muss. Eine Stunde allein zu bleiben, wenn du Besorgungen machst, sind kein Problem, aber am liebsten wäre ich immer bei dir. Es wäre toll, wenn du nicht Vollzeit arbeitest und viel Zeit für mich hast. Ein bereits vorhandenes kastriertes Hundemädchen wäre in Ordnung, aber am allerliebsten wäre ich dein Einzelprinz. Wenn du mich kennenlernen möchtest, melde dich gerne zu den

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a senior yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Starnberg in Starnberg.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
