Adopt Chewby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Chewby is a nice small dog, very young. Chewby's character, very insecure, caused him to start pushing away everything that worries him (strangers, vehicles) in a very reactive way. He gets along very well with female dogs, but not with males. The ideal family for Chewby consists of adult, patient but active people who live in a quiet environment not immersed in traffic, and willing to be guided by our experts to live well with Chewby, who, once he becomes comfortable, is friendly and fun like a funny fairy. An animal shelter, a dog shelter cannot replace the love of a family. Give the real life... adopt! Chewby was born in December 2023 and is a small size. He is located in Vairano di Vidigulfo, in the province of Pavia, just a few steps from Milan. Available for adoption in Milan, Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria.

Chewby è un bel cagnolino di taglia piccola, giovanissimo. Il carattere di Chewby, molto insicuro, ha fatto sì che iniziasse ad allontanare da sé tutto ciò che lo preoccupa (persone sconosciute, mezzi di trasporto) in modo molto reattivo. Con le cagnoline si relaziona molto bene, con i maschi invece no. La famiglia ideale per Chewby è composta di persone adulte, pazienti ma attive, che abitino in un contesto tranquillo e non immerso nel.traffico, e disposte a farsi guidare dai nostri esperti per vivere bene con Chewby che, una volta entrato in confidenza, è simpatico e divertente come un buffo folletto.Un rifugio, un canile non possono sostituirsi all’amore di una famiglia. Regala la vera vita…adotta! Chewby è nato a dicembre 2023 è una taglia piccola.Si trova a Vairano di Vidigulfo, in provincia di Pavia, a pochi passi da Milano.Adottabile a Milano, in Lombardia, Piemonte e Liguria.Si affida vaccinato, castrato e microchippato con i consueti controlli pre e post affido.

About Chewby

What life with Chewby looks like

Chewby is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fondazione Squadra 4 Zampe in Italy.

An young 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 Chewby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chewby?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fondazione Squadra 4 Zampe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chewby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chewby if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fondazione Squadra 4 Zampe 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 Chewby 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 Chewby 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 Fondazione Squadra 4 Zampe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chewby 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.
