Adopt CIRO

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Here you go… CIRO ❤️ He is a neutered male pitbull born in July 2019. We don’t know exactly what his past was, but it was clearly not a happy one. When he arrived at our shelter in Turin many years ago, he was in very poor physical condition… but despite that, he continued to trust humans and quickly won the hearts of everyone here. This fills us with sadness. He is an incredibly good dog with people, very affectionate, always seeking attention and petting. He spends his days whining by the door of his kennel, hoping someone will stop just to say hello. We can’t think that after all that bad past, he shouldn’t finally find a happy ending in a home. He is not compatible with other dogs and animals in general. We are looking for an experienced person who wants to open their heart to our Ciro, who has a big heart ❤️ To meet him and for more information:

Ecco a voi… CIRO ❤️ È un pitbull castrato nato a Luglio del 2019. Non conosciamo esattamente il suo passato, ma sicuramente non è stato felice, anzi.. Quando è arrivato all’Enpa di Torino, ormai molti anni fa, era in pessime condizioni fisiche.. ma nonostante ciò, ha continuato ad avere fiducia nell’uomo e ha subito conquistato il cuore di tutti noi. e questo ci riempie di tristezza. È un cane buonissimo con le persone, molto affettuoso, sempre in cerca di attenzioni e carezze. Passa le giornate piagnucolando davanti alla porta del box, con la speranza che qualcuno si fermi anche solo per un saluto. Non possiamo pensare che dopo tutto quel brutto passato, non possa finalmente conoscere un lieto fine, in una casa. Non é compatibile con altri cani e animali in genere. Cerchiamo una persona con esperienza che voglia aprire il proprio cuore al nostro Ciro, che il cuore ce l’ha grande ❤️ Per conoscerlo e maggiori info: Via Germagnano 8 Dal lunedì al sabato dalle 13 alle 16

About CIRO

What life with CIRO looks like

CIRO is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Sezione Torino in Torino.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 CIRO, answered.

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