Attila

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Attila is a molosser with a proud gaze and gentle eyes that carry the weight of an important name, which does not reflect him at all, and a difficult past that has marked him. Docile, a bit timid, reliable, balanced, and obedient. He is used to getting into the car and to the external context where he always shows himself to be well-mannered and respectful towards people and his peers. He loves long walks, enjoys swimming in the lake, and appreciates being petted. He seeks a family that is aware, willing to love him, and to give him a new chance.

IT·Show original

Attila è un molossoide dallo sguardo fiero e dagli occhi dolci che porta con sé il peso di un nome importante, che non lo rispecchia affatto, e un passato difficile che lo ha segnato. Docile, un po’ timido, affidabile, equilibrato, ubbidiente. È abituato a salire in auto e al contesto esterno dove si mostra sempre educato e rispettoso con le persone e i suoi simili. Adora le lunghe passeggiate, gli piace fare il bagno al lago e apprezza le carezze. Cerca una famiglia consapevole, disposta ad amarlo e a regalargli una nuova possibilità.

About Attila

What life with Attila looks like

Attila is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Compagni di Strada - Canile di Desenzano in Italy.

An 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 Attila, answered.

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