Baky

Unknown

Baki will sweep you off your feet. He’s a young, energetic, fast, high-performing dog with an incredible zest for life and an exceptional nose. In short, he’s a real “boost of vitality.” For him, we’re looking for someone—or a family—who can fully appreciate and embrace the richness of his emotions, without being discouraged by the commitment his adoption will require, especially in the early stages, which are crucial to ensuring he has the comfort he needs to start a peaceful life outside the shelter. That’s why we’re seeking people willing to embark on this journey together from day one. Baki needs a stable reference figure—a person with good emotional balance—who can guide him through new experiences and help him acquire both independent and social skills. A reference figure who knows how to strike the right balance between affection and clear guidance, someone who’s eager to learn how to channel his energy and motivation but also to introduce him, in the right way, to the joy of calmness—something essential for a dog who, if he could, would devour life in one big bite. If you think you have these qualities, don’t miss the chance to come meet him and let yourself be swept away by his boundless energy! Other dogs are welcome, but they’ll need to be carefully introduced after thorough assessment. Cats are not suitable. A rural or semi-urban setting would be ideal, but what really matters most is having plenty of time to devote to him. This isn’t a dog you should confine to the garden, let alone one you can just “take for a quick walk and leave.”

Baki ti travolge. Un cane giovane, energico, veloce, performante, con tanta voglia di fare e un fiuto eccezionale. Insomma, una vera è propria “botta di vita”. Per lui cerchiamo una persona o una famiglia che sappia cogliere e vivere a pieno la ricchezza delle sue emozioni, senza scoraggiarsi di fronte all’impegno che la sua adozione richiederà soprattutto nei primi tempi, fondamentali per garantirgli l’agio necessario ad avviarsi ad una serena vita fuori dal canile. Per questo cerchiamo persone disposte ad intraprendere un percorso con lui già dai primi momenti. Baki ha bisogno di un punto di riferimento saldo, dotato di un buon equilibrio emozionale, che sappia guidarlo nelle esperienze e nell’acquisizione di competenze sia autonome che relazionali. Un punto di riferimento che sappia dosare correttamente affettività e indicazioni chiare, che abbia sì voglia di imparare a canalizzare la sua energia e le sue motivazioni ma anche di fargli conoscere con le giuste modalità il piacere della calma, fondamentale per un cane che se potesse si divorerebbe la vita in un boccone. Se pensate di avere queste caratteristiche allora non perdete l’occasione per venire a conoscerlo e farvi travolgere dalla sua energia! Sì altri cani, da valutare previo attento inserimento. No gatti. Contesto rurale o semi-urbano sono l’ideale, ma la cosa davvero importante rimane la disponibilità di tempo da dedicargli. Non è un cane da relegare in giardino, tantomeno da “una passeggiatina e via”.

About Baky

What life with Baky looks like

Baky is a adult dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

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 Baky, answered.

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