Charly

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Senior · 9 years

Charley, born 18.09.2014 Charley is a black female Staffie cross possibility crossed with a breed similar to a whippet. She is looking for a home directly from her home because she wouldn't cope in the kennel environment due to her separation anxiety. If you are interested in adopting her please fill in the application form and the process will be the same as any of the dogs in our care. Once an application is approved and we feel it may be a suitable home for Charley we would then put you in touch with her owner to arrange to meet her. Charley is looking for a home due to unforeseen changes in the household meaning she is now having to be left on her own during the day which causes her to get very stressed. Charley has been in the same home since 2018 when she was adopted from another rescue centre where she was taken in as a stray. She is a very loving dog and loves to lick you and sit with you. She is full of life and energy. She is toilet trained and good in the house when someone is there but will be destructive if left due to her anxiety. She is particularly scared of fireworks and loud bangs. She is looking for a home where someone would be able to be with her all time to keep her company. She is spayed and fully vaccinated. She is currently taking calming medication prescribed by the vets to help while she's having to be left. This may be able to be reduced once she has settled in a new home. She has also had a blood test because she was losing weight and everything came back clear, so the weight loss was put down to anxiety

About Charly

What life with Charly looks like

Charly is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Windyway Animal Rescue in Macclesfield.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Charly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Charly?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Windyway Animal Rescue 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 — Windyway Animal Rescue 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Windyway Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charly 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.
