CIRO

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 7 years

Ciro ❤️ is a neutered pitbull mix born in July 2019. We don't know his exact past, but it certainly wasn't happy. When he arrived at the Enpa in Turin, many years ago, he was in poor physical condition... but despite this, he continued to trust humans and quickly won our hearts. He recovered quickly, but unfortunately, no one has ever stopped in front of his kennel... and this fills us with sadness. He is a very good dog with people, very affectionate, always looking for attention and caresses. He spends his days whining in front of the kennel door, hoping that someone will stop even just to say hello. We can't think that after all that bad past, he can't finally know a happy ending, in a home. He is not compatible with other dogs and animals in general. We are looking for someone with experience who wants to open their heart to our Ciro, who has a big heart ❤️ To meet him and get more information: Via Germagnano, 8 Monday to Saturday from 1 pm to 4 pm

Ecco a voi… CIRO ❤️ È un simil 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. Si è ripreso velocemente ma purtroppo in tutto questo tempo nessuno si è mai soffermato davanti al suo box.. 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 pit bull terrier 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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting CIRO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CIRO?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask ENPA Sezione Torino whether they will for CIRO, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is CIRO already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: ENPA Sezione Torino lists CIRO as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by ENPA Sezione Torino, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if CIRO isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask ENPA Sezione Torino about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
