Adotta Chester

Mixed Breed · Male

Chester is a young shepherd, energetic and exuberant, looking for a special family. He’s a wonderful dog, very affectionate with people and sociable with his siblings. He wants to share every day with someone who has time and wants to take him for quality walks and playtime, even at home. He has a mild hearing deficit but once trust is established, it’s not at all a limitation: with him, you live a full, joyful, and emotionally rich life.

About Adotta Chester

What life with Adotta Chester looks like

Adotta Chester is a mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) in Italy.

A 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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Adotta Chester, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Adotta Chester?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Adotta Chester on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Adotta Chester if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) whether they will for Adotta Chester, what they require (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 Adotta Chester already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Adotta Chester. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini), so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Adotta Chester isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Adotta Chester 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
