Adopt Alan

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Young · 3 years

Hello, I am Alan, a wonderful pitbull mixed-breed dog, intact, born on 02/23/2023. I am a quiet and playful type with everyone, but sometimes I have some reservations with my own kind. I love playing with water and running in the grass, but I also love being in my warm crate. I'm looking for a home suitable for my size where I can make the most of my energy. I really want a family for myself, to give and receive the love I deserve. Come meet me! Come meet me!

Ciao sono Alan, un meraviglioso meticcio pitbull intero nato il 23/02/2023. Sono un tipo tranquillo e giocherellone con tutti, ma con i miei simili a volte ho qualche riserva. Adoro giocare con l’acqua e correre nell’erba ma adoro stare anche nella mia cucciona calda. Cerco una casa adeguata alla mia stazza dove posso utilizzare al meglio la mia energia. Ho tanta voglia di avere una famiglia per me, donare e ricevere l’amore che merito. Vieni a conoscermi ! Vieni a conoscermi!

About Alan

What life with Alan looks like

Alan is a young adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at Canile di Comacchio in Italy.

An young 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 Alan, answered.

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