Aldo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Aldo was born in 2025 and is at the age of running in fields, playing, and discovering, but life has already thrown him a nasty surprise: a change of ownership. From one day to the next, he found himself without his certainties, without understanding what he had done wrong. Aldo has a medium-sized build and is a fantastic puppy. With people: Aldo is a real piece of bread. He is very affectionate, constantly seeking human contact, cuddles, and the gaze of those who want to love him. With his peers: Aldo is sociable and calm, gets along well with other dogs and loves to interact in a serene way. At one year old, he still has a world to learn and a lot of love to give. Let's not let him grow up behind the bars of a box or without the warmth of a real family. Aldo is up for adoption, vaccinated, microchipped, and sterilized, after a pre-adoption process.

IT·Show original

Aldo è nato nel 2025, ha l'età delle corse nei prati, del gioco e delle scoperte, ma la vita gli ha già riservato una brutta sorpresa: una rinuncia di proprietà. Da un giorno all'altro si è ritrovato senza più le sue certezze, senza capire cosa abbia fatto di male. Taglia medio contenuta ​Aldo è un cucciolone fantastico: ​Con le persone: Un vero pezzo di pane. Tenerissimo, cerca costantemente il contatto umano, le coccole e lo sguardo di chi vuole volergli bene. ​Con i suoi simili: Socievole e tranquillo, va d'accordo con gli altri cani e ama interagire in modo sereno. ​A un anno ha ancora un mondo da imparare e tantissimo amore da donare. Non lasciamo che cresca dietro le sbarre di un box o senza il calore di una vera famiglia. ​Aldo si affida vaccinato, microchippato e sterilizzato, previo percorso di pre-affido.

About Aldo

What life with Aldo looks like

Aldo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco 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 Aldo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aldo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio San Francesco 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 — Rifugio San Francesco 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 Rifugio San Francesco 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.
