ARGOS

Male · Adult · 7 years

This adorable big dog is lively, cheerful and has his own way of making himself loved: with an inexhaustible supply of cuddles and a lot of desire to be in company! He loves human contact, he is very affectionate! He gets along with other dogs and is perfect for those looking for a dog with an balanced character. He moves with a bit of clumsiness, probably due to an old car accident, but this does not in the least hinder his desire to live and run. Argos needs a family that welcomes him with the respect and sweetness he deserves and that gives him the serenity he needs so much.

Questo simpaticissimo cagnolone è vivace, allegro e ha un modo tutto suo di farsi voler bene: con una scorta inesauribile di coccole e tanta voglia di stare in compagnia! Adora il contatto umano, è affettuosissimo! Va d’accordo con gli altri cani ed è perfetto per chi cerca un cane dal carattere equilibrato. Si muove con un po’ di goffaggine, probabilmente a causa di un vecchio incidente stradale, ma questo non frena minimamente la sua voglia di vivere e correre. Argos ha bisogno di una famiglia che lo accolga con il rispetto e la dolcezza che merita e che gli regali la serenità di cui ha tanto bisogno.

About ARGOS

What life with ARGOS looks like

ARGOS is a large adult dog waiting at ENPA Verona in Verona.

An 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 ARGOS, answered.

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