Charlie

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Do you know those little dogs that make you smile just by looking at them? Well, Charlie is exactly like that! A bundle of charm and liveliness, born in May 2020, who is waiting to find his special family. Despite his adorable character and medium-small size, perfect for any setting, it seems that Charlie is invisible to those looking for a four-legged friend. But we won't give up! We are sure that somewhere there is someone who will fall in love with his sweet face and his desire to play. Charlie has spent too much time in the animal shelter. He is a good, energetic small dog, although he sometimes prefers human company to that of his own kind. We are looking for a family that can appreciate his uniqueness and offer him lots of love and attention. Charlie is in the province of Caserta and will be placed vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered, after a pre-adoption check. Let's not leave this treasure alone!

Avete presente quei cagnolini che vi fanno sorridere solo a guardarli? Ecco, Charlie è proprio così! Un concentrato di simpatia e vivacità, nato nel maggio 2020, che aspetta solo di trovare la sua famiglia speciale. Nonostante il suo carattere adorabile e la taglia medio-piccola perfetta per ogni contesto, sembra che Charlie sia invisibile agli occhi di chi cerca un amico a quattro zampe. Ma noi non ci arrendiamo! Siamo sicuri che da qualche parte c'è qualcuno che si innamorerà del suo musetto dolce e della sua voglia di giocare. Charlie ha già trascorso troppo tempo in rifugio. È un cagnolino buono e pieno di energia, anche se a volte preferisce la compagnia degli umani a quella dei suoi simili. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia che sappia apprezzare la sua unicità e che gli offra tanto amore e attenzioni. Charlie si trova in provincia di Caserta e verrà affidato vaccinato, microchippato e sterilizzato, previo controllo pre-affido. Non lasciamo che questo tesoro rimanga solo!

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

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.

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. Rifugio San Francesco 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 — Rifugio San Francesco 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 Rifugio San Francesco 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.
