Charlie

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Charlie, a rough diamond on four paws, is my name! I'm new here at the animal shelter and originally from Romania. I took the long journey to find a new home with you. Currently, I share a kennel with my buddy Cooper. Our descriptions are similar, but I'm the bigger one (relatively speaking). Together, we are the duo infernale at the outdoor kennel: two bright, loud guys who like to give a good thump. Following the motto: "Come close, I'll eat you!" Well, that's just show. We're still working on our image. But I also have a different side. I love my humans here, I throw myself at them (when I get a chance) and would love to sniff and lick them from head to toe. Because I'm constantly jumping up, they already call me Hüpfdohle. So please, I'm not a bird. And most importantly... I have that irresistible dog look. I'm sure I'll wrap you around my finger... or paw! Now, let's get down to business: I'm a fine fellow, but still wild and unruly. I love cuddling and snuggling, let me touch you everywhere and love food. My fur feels very soft. You could say: I'm a real rough diamond, a raw puppy without any training. I don't know what "house training" means and I still chew on everything that comes in front of my nose - just like a puppy. But balls are great and if they also throw out food, even better. The animal shelter staff is trying to get me used to a collar, harness, and leash. So you could say: I'm a dog in training - the adventure has begun!!!! So, people, who gives me a chance to prove to you that I'm the dream dog you've been looking for? Make an appointment. I'm waiting for you!!! Your Charlie Animal adoptions are currently by appointment only. If you're interested in one of our animals, please contact us by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email.

Rohdiamant auf vier Pfoten Hallo Leute, ich bin der Charlie! Ich bin ganz neu hier im Tierheim und komme ursprünglich aus Rumänien. Ich habe extra den weiten Weg auf mich genommen um bei euch ein neues Zuhause zu finden. Zurzeit teile ich mir mit meinem Kumpel Cooper einen Zwinger. Unsere Beschreibungen ähneln sich zwar, aber ich bin der deutlich Größere, wobei “groß” relativ ist. Gemeinsam sind wir am Außenzwinger das Duo Infernale: zwei hellwache, lautstarke Kerle, die gerne mal ordentlich auf den Putz hauen. Frei nach dem Motto: „Kommst du mir zu nahe, fresse ich dich!“ Na ja, das ist natürlich nur Show. An unserem Image arbeiten wir noch. Dabei habe ich auch eine ganz andere Seite. Ich liebe meine Menschen hier, schmeiß mich ihnen an den Hals - wenn ich drankomme - und würde sie am liebsten von oben bis unten beschnüffeln und abschlabbern. Weil ich dabei ständig in die Höhe hüpfe, nennen sie mich hier schon Hüpfdohle. Also bitte, ich bin doch kein Vogel. Und ganz wichtig … diesen unwiderstehlichen Hundeblick habe ich auch drauf. Damit wickele ich euch garantiert um die Finger … äh … Pfoten! Jetzt mal zu den Fakten: Ich bin ein richtig feiner Kerl, allerdings noch wild und ungestüm. Schmusen und Kuscheln finde ich toll, lass mich überall anfassen und liebe Futter. Mein Fell fühlt sich übrigens ganz weich an. Man kann sagen: Ich bin ein echter Rohdiamant, ein ungeschliffener Junghund ohne jede Erziehung. Was “Stubenreinheit” bedeutet, weiß ich auch nicht und ich knabbere noch an allem rum, was mir vor die Nase kommt - ganz nach Welpenart. Bälle finde ich übrigens ganz prima und wenn sie auch noch Futter auswerfen, um so besser. Das Tierheimpersonal gibt sich hier alle Mühe mich an ein Halsband, das Geschirr und die Leine zu gewöhnen. Man könnte also sagen: Ich bin ein Junghund in Ausbildung - das Abenteuer hat begonnen!!!! Also Leute, wer gibt mir eine Chance um euch zu beweisen, dass ich der Traumhund bin, nach dem Ihr schon lange gesucht habt. Macht bitte einen Termin. Ich warte auf Euch!!! Euer Charlie Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Tecklenburger Land 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 Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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.
