Canine Senior of the Month for June: Elderly Dog Carlos Hunts for Comfortable Slumber Spot

In the heart of Solingen, a 14-year-old Collie and Cocker Spaniel mix named Carlos is seeking a warm and comfortable retirement. After the loss of his long-time owner, Carlos finds himself at the Solingen Animal Shelter, hoping to find a patient and understanding family to call his own.

Carlos, who weighs around 25-27 kg, is in good health, with only minor issues. He enjoys short walks and rest, and his medication is administered easily, wrapped in his favourite liver sausage. Despite his age, a tumor in his right testicle does not cause him pain, and it will not be removed due to his advanced years.

Carlos is a loving and affectionate dog, who enjoys petting sessions and cuddles. He feels particularly at home by the water and shares a passion for swimming. His preference for wet food over dry food is well-known, and chew toys help with his dental issues.

Carlos is house-trained and travels well by car, but he requires a ramp to get in. He roams and sniffs freely in a garden, and his tolerance with other dogs is remarkable. However, the behavior of Carlos towards other animals, apart from the courtyard cat at the shelter, is unknown.

The courtyard cat at the shelter does not seem to interest Carlos. He requires a quiet home with plenty of attention and cuddles, and a home with a garden would be ideal for him to roam and sniff to his heart's content.

Interested parties can meet Carlos and schedule an appointment at the Solingen Animal Shelter. While there is no direct information about someone in Solingen willing to take in the elderly dog for a peaceful and attentive home, local dog daycares and pension facilities like House of Animals in Solingen offer experienced and loving care for dogs, which might help find a suitable arrangement for Carlos.

In the meantime, Carlos waits patiently, hoping to find a new home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort and love.
