How do I contact the shelter about Charly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Julias Tierheim Ahaus handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Charly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Charly if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 Charly 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 Charly 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 Julias Tierheim Ahaus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charly and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Charly

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Our athletic Appenzeller-Border Collie mix (1.5 years old) is looking for people who can recognize and guide his great potential. His previous owners were overwhelmed by his energy, so he came back to us in June. Charly has a height of approximately 50-55 cm. At home, the handsome fellow shows his sweet side. He is incredibly affectionate, enjoying every caress thoroughly. As soon as it goes outside, he really blooms. He already runs with great enthusiasm on the bike, and he also masters car rides relaxed. He generally gets along well with other dogs, although ultimately sympathy decides. The young male can't stay alone yet. His new people must train him to be alone again from scratch and in very small steps. Additionally, his hunting instinct is pronounced, which is why no cats are allowed in the new home. Small children should not live in the same household either, as the hustle and bustle can quickly overwhelm him. We wish for this athletic whirlwind people who convey the necessary structure and calmness to him. He is the ideal partner for active minds and would absolutely shine at agility, dog sports or joint exertion in nature.

Unser sportlicher Appenzeller-Border-Collie-Mix ( 1,5 Jahre ) ist auf der Suche nach Menschen, die sein großes Potenzial erkennen und lenken können. Seine vorherige Besitzerin waren mit seiner Energie überfordert, so kam er im Juni zu uns zurück. Charly hat ein ca. Stockmaß von 50-55 cm . Im Haus zeigt sich der hübsche Kerl von seiner zuckersüßen Seite. Er ist unglaublich verschmust, genießt jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Sobald es nach draußen geht, blüht er richtig auf. Er läuft bereits mit großer Begeisterung am Fahrrad, und auch Autofahrten meistert er entspannt. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich grundsätzlich gut, wobei hier letztendlich die Sympathie entscheidet. Der junge Rüde kann noch nicht gut alleine bleiben. Seine neuen Menschen müssen das Alleinebleiben daher noch einmal ganz von vorne und in sehr kleinen Schritten mit ihm trainieren. Zudem ist sein Jagdtrieb ausgeprägt, weshalb im neuen Zuhause keine Katzen leben dürfen. Auch kleine Kinder sollten nicht im selben Haushalt wohnen, da ihn Trubel schnell überfordern kann. Wir wünschen uns für diesen sportlichen Wirbelwind Menschen, die ihm die nötige Struktur und Ruhe vermitteln. Er ist der ideale Partner für aktive Köpfe und würde beim Agility, beim Hundesport oder beim gemeinsamen Auspowern in der Natur absolut glänzen.

About Charly

What life with Charly looks like

Charly is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
