Ciko

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Strengths: Gentle and sociable with people; wears the harness without any difficulty. Affectionate and curious puppy, eager to bond with others. Weaknesses: Needs plenty of toys and varied stimulation, as he tends to use his mouth extensively during play. Struggles greatly when left alone and requires constant companionship. Needs a patient guide who can help him learn to manage his emotions and energy. The ideal family: For Ciko, we’re looking for a present, patient family with plenty of time to devote to him—someone willing to support his growth and daily training. Ideally, this would be a home where he’s not often left alone and, if possible, a balanced second dog who could keep him company and help him feel more secure.

About Ciko

What life with Ciko looks like

Ciko is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Lega del Cane Padova in Rubano (Padova).

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 Ciko, answered.

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