Charlotte

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

The impressive Charlotte, who tips the scales at around 40 kg, is as charming and friendly as she is large. We cannot understand why the super-friendly and cuddly female dog was found tied at the shelter entrance by her owner. Charlotte loves company, cuddles, and attention. The cheerful XXL cuddle-mouse is delighted by all the people who cross her path—whether they know her or not. Since Charlotte does not get along with other dogs, she should be the sole princess in her new family. A cat test could be conducted if interested.

DE·Show original

Die stattliche Charlotte, die immerhin ca. 40 kg auf die Waage bringt, ist so liebenswürdig und freundlich, wie sie groß ist. Warum die super brave und verschmuste Hündin von ihrem Besitzer am Tierheimtor angebunden wurde, können wir nicht verstehen. Charlotte liebt Gesellschaft, Streicheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit. Die gut gelaunte XXL-Kuschelmaus freut sich über alle Menschen, die ihren Weg kreuzen – egal ob sie sie kennt oder nicht. Da Charlotte nicht mit anderen Hunden klarkommt, sollte sie in ihrer neuen Familie allerdings Einzelprinzessin sein. Ein Katzentest könnte bei Interesse noch durchgeführt werden.

About Charlotte

What life with Charlotte looks like

Charlotte is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Charlotte, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Charlotte?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Portugal handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Charlotte on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Charlotte if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe Portugal 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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte 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 Hundehilfe Portugal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charlotte 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.
