Charlie

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Charlie Pictures (click to enlarge previews) Would you give Charlie a peaceful new home? Charlie is extremely gentle and friendly towards people and loves leash walks. He is an anxious dog, which is made much worse living in a shelter. Despite his past trauma and some anxious behaviours like pacing and humping objects and dogs (not people), he still has such joy to see us and has hope in his eyes every day. We rescued Charlie in 2018 from the street. We believe that people tried to use Charlie for dog fighting, but fighting is the last thing this sweet boy wants to do. Charlie is so lovely and friendly, he loves people. He is an anxious dog, probably due to his past, but still greets us with joy every day and waits impatiently for his occasional walk. Although Charlie would like to be near the other dogs, he is terrified of aggression and if a dog growls or barks at him he will vomit from stress. We try to keep him in a quiet space but this is very difficult in a shelter with over 30 dogs. He also sometimes shows awkward behaviours around other dogs, like mounting them, which obviously upsets the other dogs. This is probably coping mechanism from his past trauma. Charlie would thrive in a peaceful home with daily walks, as a single dog. He really deserves to live out his more senior years with some happiness and peace. Can you help us find a home for Charlie?

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Laiza Strays in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

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. Laiza Strays 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 — Laiza Strays 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 Laiza Strays 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 (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.
