✨🚨DRINGEND ZUHAUSE GESUCHT – CHARLIE SUCHT SEINEN MENSCHEN! 🚨✨ 🐾 Name: Charlie🐾 Alter: 10 Jahre (geb. 2016)🐾 Rasse: Schwarzer Labrador🐾 Geschlecht: Rüde, kastriert🐾 Gesundheit: Arthrose Manchmal bekommt man eine zweite Chance im Leben. Ich habe meine bekommen – jetzt fehlt mir nur noch ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem ich endlich ankommen darf. Hallo, ich bin Charlie! Mein bisheriges Leben war leider nicht schön. Auf Malta ging es mir in einem Shelter sehr schlecht. Liebe Tierschützer haben mich nach Deutschland geholt und mir damit das Leben gerettet. ❤️ Anfangs bin ich fremden Menschen gegenüber etwas misstrauisch. Bei Frauen fasse ich meistens schneller Vertrauen. Gib mir einfach etwas Zeit und Geduld. Wenn ich dich erst einmal ins Herz geschlossen habe, bin ich sehr anhänglich. Ich liebe es zu kuscheln und möchte am liebsten den ganzen Tag an deiner Seite sein. Allerdings kann es vorkommen, dass ich meine Ressourcen verteidige. Deshalb brauche ich Menschen, die meine Körpersprache verstehen und mir Sicherheit geben. Kinder sind nicht mein Fall, ich wünsche mir einen ruhigen Haushalt. 🐾 Trotz meiner Arthrose bin ich gerne spazieren! Beim Einsteigen ins Auto brauche ich deine Hilfe. Wenn du mich hinten anhebst, kann es sein, dass ich aus Unbehagen knurre. Ich schnappe nicht, möchte aber, dass meine Grenzen respektiert werden. Schmerzmittel benötige ich nur selten. 🏡 Was ich mir wünsche? Ein gemütliches Zuhause, liebevolle Menschen und einen Platz, an dem ich für immer bleiben darf. Ich möchte einfach dazugehören, geliebt werden und meine Menschen an meiner Seite wissen. 🖤 Zehn Jahre habe ich bereits hinter mir. Wer schenkt mir jetzt noch viele schöne Jahre in einem eigenen Zuhause? 📩 Bei ernsthaftem Interesse freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht. 🙏 Bitte teilt meinen Beitrag, damit ich endlich meinen Menschen finde! Euer Charlie 🐾❤️

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Not Solingen 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 Charlie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Charlie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiere in Not Solingen 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 — Tiere in Not Solingen 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 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 Tiere in Not Solingen 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.
