Bigio

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Bigio, a misunderstood small dog. Good on walks, loves walking in nature, running and playing. Loves eating, both his food and snacks. Suffers from epilepsy and will therefore need lifelong treatment. He is not easily handled, he only trusts those he knows and respects, so it is necessary to create a special bond with him, but once done he gives you his heart. We are looking for a family for him that is attentive and patient, able to give him time and respect his space. No children.

IT·Show original

Bigio, un cagnolino incompreso. Bravo in passeggiata, adora camminare nella natura, correre e scorrazzare . Ama mangiare, sia la pappa che gli snack. Soffre di epilessia e dovrà quindi prendere una terapia a vita. Non si lascia manipolare facilmente, si fida solo di chi conosce e lo rispetta, per questo bisogna creare con lui un legame speciale, ma una volta fatto ti dona il cuore. Cerchiamo un afamiglia per lui attenta e paziente, capace di dargli tempo e rispettare i suoi spazi. No bambini. CANILE RIFGIO DI BRESCIA

About Bigio

What life with Bigio looks like

Bigio is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

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 Bigio, answered.

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