Aldo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Aldo unfortunately returned to the our shelter after being adopted six months ago. He was ten months old when he went to his home, so now he's an adolescent with his vulnerabilities. He seems to be a mix with a Nordic dog. He's a beautiful and friendly dog, but with a strong temperament, so it's important to manage him properly. In these months at home, he wasn't managed in the best way, so he found himself in the situation of having to bite "invaders" who were too intrusive. He needs someone who can become a responsible reference point, someone who can help him live a daily routine that satisfies him and makes him serene. He's not very sociable with other dogs. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

IT·Show original

Aldo, purtroppo è rientrato in canile dopo essere stato adottato 6 mesi fa. Aveva 10 mesi quando andò a casa, quindi ora è un adolescente, con le sue fragilità. Sembra essere un incrocio con un cane nordico. E' un cane bellissimo e affabile, ma dal temperamento forte, quindi va saputo gestire. In questi mesi a casa non è stato gestito nel modo migliore, si è trovato quindi nella situazione di dover mordere degli "invasori" troppo dirtti. Ha bisogno di una persona che diventi un punto di riiferimento responsabile, che gli faccia vivere una quotidianità che lo appaghi e lo renda sereno. Non molto socievole con altri cani. NO BAMBINI NO GATTI

About Aldo

What life with Aldo looks like

Aldo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Aldo, answered.

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