Bimba

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 18 years

Bimba arrived with us from Cortona, where she was welcomed by two elderly people because she had been in a situation of physical abuse. Being very young and also very fearful, it was difficult for them to manage her, so she arrived with us. She is always very afraid and does not let anyone approach her, but she has found a friend in Jago, another one of our guests, with whom she plays. Bimba is available for remote adoption, like all the other little dogs staying at the animal shelter (see the dedicated section, click REMOTE ADOPTION). Animal Welfare Association ODVI registered with the Regional Voluntary Association Register with Directive Act n. 102/SA of 21/05/2008, number 260. Tax Code: 92049230516 Call the ASL central line, asking for the veterinary service, which will activate the turnkey capture service.

Bimba è arrivata da noi da Cortona, dove era stata accolta da due persone anziane perchè era stata in una situazione di maltrattamento fisico. Essendo molto giovane, la Bimba, e anche molto paurosa, era per loro difficile gestirla, e cosi è arrivata a noi. Ha sempre molta paura, non si fa avvicinare da nessuno, ma ha trovato in Jago, un altro nostro ospite, un amico con cui giocare. Bimba è adottabile a distanza, come tutti gli altri cagnolini, ospiti del rifugio (vedi sezione dedicata, clicca ADOZIONI A DISTANZA).

About Bimba

What life with Bimba looks like

Bimba is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lo Scudo di Pan - Rifugio per Animali in Italy.

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 Bimba, answered.

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