ACHILLE

Cane Corso · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Date of birth: 15/11/2019 (6 and a half years old) In shelter since: 31/08/2020 Size: Medium (Sturdy and strong) Temperament profile: Achilles is a dog with great sensitivity and remarkable communication skills. He’s not a dog for everyone: he’s initially wary and needs time to bond with people. He doesn’t appreciate direct handling or sudden physical contact; he prefers eye contact and clear, straightforward communication. He avoids conflicts with other dogs, often choosing to distance himself instead. He displays strong possessiveness toward resources (food). : A period of getting to know him at the shelter is required. The ideal adopter should have previous experience with dogs of strong character, be able to recognize signs of discomfort, and respect the dog’s pace without forcing anything. A calm family environment, free of other pets or children, is essential. For more information and to arrange adoption, please write to:

About ACHILLE

What life with ACHILLE looks like

ACHILLE is an adult cane corso dog waiting at Canile di Trento 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 ACHILLE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ACHILLE?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile di Trento handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ACHILLE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ACHILLE if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile di Trento 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ACHILLE 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 ACHILLE 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 Canile di Trento early rather than rehoming privately; they know ACHILLE 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.
