Adopt Chicco

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Name: Chicco Sex: male (neutered) Date of birth: 04/06/2021 "Yes, I know, I'm big and strong, everyone tells me so, but you can see that underneath I'm a 'gentle giant', right?!? My body has grown a lot and quickly (and indeed I have a motor coordination that sometimes seems a bit wobbly), but I'm actually still a young pup! I always have a lot of desire to play, to have company and attention, I can be bribed with any edible thing and above all I'm a real good guy. The few experiences I've had in life and the lack of a consistent and present guide have made me a bit insecure and sensitive, without reference points and with few skills, but pay attention: I'm only 3 years old!! I have a whole life ahead of me and I'm very ready to learn, try, listen and discover, I just need someone willing to help me do it! They tell me I would be good with someone who has already had some experience with dogs, if you have a small garden at home even better, and preferably someone who loves walks (I love going for walks sniffing around!). So? Do you like me?? Will you come visit me soon?! There's a lady who will introduce us and will help you get to know me better, you'll see how much fun we'll have. For information about me, write to: Oh, my name is Chicco! And I can't wait to meet you!" I am located in the province of Bologna.

Nome: Chicco Sesso: maschio (sterilizzato) Data di nascita: 04/06/2021 “Sì, lo so, sono grande e grosso, me lo dicono tutti , ma si vede subito che sotto sotto sono un “giandone”, no?!? Il mio corpo è cresciuto tanto e in fretta (e infatti ho una coordinazione motoria che a volte sembra un po’ fantozziana ), ma io in realtà sono ancora un giovincello! Ho sempre tanta voglia di giocare, di avere compagnia e attenzioni, mi faccio corrompere con qualsiasi cosa di commestibile e soprattutto sono un gran buonone. Le poche esperienze fatte nella vita e la mancanza di una guida coerente e presente, mi hanno fatto crescere un pó insicuro e sensibile, senza punti di riferimento e con poche competenze, ma attenzione: io ho solo 3 anni!! Ho tutta una vita davanti e sono prontissimo a imparare, provare, ascoltare e scoprire, mi manca solo chi è disposto ad aiutarmi a farlo! Mi dicono che andrei bene con qualcuno che ha già avuto un po’ di esperienza con i cani, se con un giardinetto a casa ancora meglio, e possibilmente che sia amante delle passeggiate (adoro andare a spasso ad annusare!). Quindi? Ti piaccio?? Verrai a trovarmi presto?! C’è una dada che ci presenterà e ti aiuterà a conoscermi meglio, vedrai quanto ci divertiremo. X info su di me scriveteci a: Ah, io mi chiamo Chicco! E non vedo l’ora di conoscerti!” Mi trovo in provincia di Bologna.

About Chicco

What life with Chicco looks like

Chicco is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Il Vagabondo in Bologna (Emilia-Romagna).

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 Chicco, answered.

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