Aron

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

I had a family... the same one that threw me on the street when a bad illness caused a huge mass on my hind leg. I arrived during Christmas, I was given an emergency blood transfusion because I was dying, but today I'm fine and I show every moment that I am a special dog.

Nonnino – 12 anni: Avevo una famiglia… la stessa che mi ha buttato per strada quando un brutto male mi ha provocato un’enorme massa alla zampa posteriore. Sono arrivato nel periodo di Natale, sono stato sottoposto ad una trasfusione d’urgenza perché ero in fin di vita, ma oggi sto bene e dimostro ogni istante di essere un cane speciale.

About Aron

What life with Aron looks like

Aron is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Hope Agrigento in Agrigento.

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 Aron, answered.

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