ALDO

Male · Senior · 14 years

NONNO ALDO – la dolcezza non ha età! Aldo è il nostro nonnino del rifugio, un dolcissimo cagnolino di taglia piccola nato nel 2012 che è diventato fin da subito una vera e propria mascotte del canile. Del suo passato non sappiamo nulla: è arrivato dalla strada, ma non ha perso neanche un briciolo della sua incredibile simpatia e voglia di amare! Con i suoi 14 anni ha qualche piccolo acciacco e un udito un po' birichino, ma per la sua età è davvero in splendida forma. Chi lo incontra si innamora subito della sua allegria: Aldo adora passare il tempo in compagnia delle persone, ricevere coccole e, soprattutto, mangiare! Quando arriva l'ora della pappa si trasforma in un cucciolone, saltellando e ululando di gioia finché non riceve la sua amata ciotola! Per questo meraviglioso nonnino cerchiamo una casa tranquilla e una famiglia amorevole, pronta a donargli il calore, le attenzioni e la felicità che merita per i suoi anni d'oro. Aldo saprà ripagarvi con una dolcezza infinita e tantissimi sorrisi. - compatibile con bambini

About ALDO

What life with ALDO looks like

ALDO is a small senior dog waiting at Canile San Francesco Padova in Padova.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 San Francesco Padova 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 San Francesco Padova 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 San Francesco Padova 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.
