ARES PIT

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Ares is 12 years old and has been in the dog shelter for 4 years. He is an elderly dog, but still full of energy, presence and will to live. With people he shows himself open and respectful. He is a proud, determined and authentic dog who openly expresses his emotions. He does not like other animals, so for him we imagine a setting where he can be the main character, surrounded by attention, tranquility and stable reference points. After many years in the dog shelter, our wish for Ares is simple but deep: to spend his old age in a family, in a real house, where he can finally feel welcomed, seen and loved as he deserves. We are looking for sensitive and aware people, ready to open the door to a mature companion who still has something to give. Considering his characteristics and his large size, no other dogs, children or cats.

Ares ha 12 anni e vive in canile da 4. È un cane anziano, ma ancora pieno di energia, presenza e voglia di vivere. Con le persone si mostra aperto e rispettoso. E’ un cane orgoglioso, determinato ed autentico che esprime apertamente la propria emotività. Non ama gli altri animali, per questo per lui immaginiamo un contesto in cui possa essere l’unico protagonista, circondato da attenzioni, tranquillità e punti di riferimento stabili. Dopo tanti anni di canile, il nostro augurio per Ares è semplice ma profondo: poter trascorrere la sua vecchiaia in una famiglia, in una casa vera, dove sentirsi finalmente accolto, visto e amato come merita. Per lui cerchiamo persone sensibili e consapevoli, pronte ad aprire la porta a un compagno maturo che ha ancora qualcosa da dare. In considerazione delle sue caratteristiche e della sua mole importante no altri cani, bambini e gatti. Per info e adozioni scrivi a

About ARES PIT

What life with ARES PIT looks like

ARES PIT is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Canile di Trento in Italy.

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 ARES PIT, answered.

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