Cane 1797

Male · Senior · 10 years

his 'grumpiness' remaining away without desire for contact. We knew that in that heart there was something tender, and indeed Charlie, also nicknamed Giacomino, hid his sensitivity behind an apparently a bit grumpy air. Then he started to thaw by sniffing, gentle caresses transformed today into soft and deep caresses, invitations to play and walks. He lies on his back and calls you from that wall waiting for your arrival. Charlie needs to get to know you to give himself, just as we, together, created our time to build a relationship of Friendship. And it will be for you too because little by little this friendship will become indissoluble.

la sua 'burberia' rimanendo lontano senza desiderio di contatto. Noi sapevamo che in quel cuore c'era del tenero, e infatti Charlie soprannominato anche Giacomino, celava la sua sensibilità dietro un'aria apparentemente un po' scontrosa. Poi ha iniziato a sciogliersi con l'annusare, lievi carezze trasformate ad oggi in morbidose e profonde carezze, inviti al gioco e passeggiate. Si sdraia a pancia all'insù e ti chiama da quel muretto in attesa del tuo arrivo. Charlie ha bisogno di conoscerti per concedersi,così come noi, insieme, abbiamo creato il nostro tempo per costruire un rapporto di Amicizia. E lo sarà anche per voi perchè poco alla volta diverrà, questa amicizia, indissolubile.

About Cane 1797

What life with Cane 1797 looks like

Cane 1797 is a small senior dog waiting at Il Rifugio del Cane 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 Cane 1797, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cane 1797?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Il Rifugio del Cane handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cane 1797 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cane 1797 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Il Rifugio del Cane 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 Cane 1797 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 Cane 1797 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 Il Rifugio del Cane early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cane 1797 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.
