How do I contact the shelter about Charlie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animalisti Verona ODV 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 — Animalisti Verona ODV 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 Animalisti Verona ODV 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 (IT). 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.

Charlie

Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Adult, 8 years old, full. Medium size. Compatible with dogs (he gets along, and he's right) but not with cats, and children preferably not too young. His story: Charlie was taken as a puppy by an older couple, unfortunately the husband passed away and the wife is no longer able to take care of him. He now lives in a small paved outdoor space, never going out. We went to meet him and took him out, he lit up, he really wanted to go for a nice walk (like he used to do with his beloved owner)! Charlie is lively, wants to walk, sniff, express all his enthusiasm and let off his energy. We are looking for a family that loves outdoor life, has time to dedicate to him, makes him feel loved again as a true family member (and maybe with a small outdoor space/garden, to help him considering his current living conditions, but it's not essential). He is capable of managing interactions with other dogs, it always depends on the dogs he meets, but he tends to avoid conflict. He is very sensitive but not insecure, has a good self-awareness and knows his limits, he is used to being alone but loves human contact and interaction. He is fairly responsive to call, and the family that takes him home will have great satisfaction, he still has a lot to give and he is beautiful! For future adopters, a first free consultation with a trainer will be offered to facilitate integration, and initial support if needed. He is in Verona, looking for adoption in Verona and province. To contact Charlie, send a WhatsApp message to Marina at 3491562146 or Elisa at 3341151518.

IT·Show original

Adulto, 8 anni, intero. Taglia media contenuta. Compatibile con i cani (va a simpatia, e ha ragione) ma non con i gatti, sì bambini possibilmente non troppo piccoli. La sua storia: Charlie viene preso da cucciolo da una coppia non giovanissima, il Signore viene purtroppo a mancare e la moglie non è in grado di occuparsi di lui. Ora vive in un piccolo spazio esterno pavimentato, senza mai uscire. Siamo andati a conoscerlo e lo abbiamo portato fuori, si è illuminato, aveva una voglia matta di fare una bella passeggiata (come faceva col il suo amato proprietario)! Charlie è arzillo, ha voglia di camminare, annusare, esprimere tutto il suo entusiasmo e sfogare la sua vivacità.Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia amante della vita all’aria aperta, che abbia tempo da dedicargli, che lo faccia sentire di nuovo amato come un vero componente della famiglia (e magari con un piccolo spazio esterno/giardino, per agevolarlo considerando le condizioni attuali in cui vive, ma non è indispensabile). È un cane in grado di gestire le interazioni con i suoi simili, dipende sempre ovviamente dai cani che si trova davanti ma lui tendenzialmente cerca di evitare lo scontro. È molto sensibile ma non insicuro, ha un’ottima conoscenza di sé e dei suoi limiti, è abituato a stare solo ma ama il contatto umano ed interagire. Al richiamo è abbastanza responsivo, stringendo una sana relazione con lui la famiglia che lo porterà a casa avrà grandi soddisfazioni, ha ancora molto da dare ed è bellissimo! Ai futuri adottanti verrà offerta una prima consulenza gratuita con un’educatrice per favorire l’inserimento, e al bisogno un supporto iniziale. Si trova a Verona, cerca adozione su Verona e provincia. Per Charlie è possibile contattare con un messaggio WhatsApp Marina al 3491562146 oppure Elisa al 3341151518.

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Animalisti Verona ODV in Verona.

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 Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.
