Connie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Connie is a Maremmana mix adult. In the dog shelter, she is very disoriented, as we believe she has spent her entire life in an environment without significant stimuli and has never been outside of it. Despite this, she is very sweet, loves cuddles, and enjoys human contact. She loves to walk in nature, in very calm contexts without too many stimuli, and she really enjoys taking baths in the river. She doesn't pull on the leash and lets herself be put in a harness very calmly. In urban contexts, she is very anxious and scared, so we are looking for a patient person to take her out and help her discover the outside world. She will be sterilized as soon as possible. At the moment, she cohabits with a male dog of similar size, so compatibility can be assessed.

IT·Show original

Connie è una mix maremmana adulta. In canile è molto disorientata, pensiamo abbia passato tutta la sua vita in un ambiente senza grossi stimoli e senza esserne mai uscita. Nonostante questo è molto dolce , ama le coccole e il contatto con le persone. Ama passeggiare nella natura, in contesti molto tranquilli, senza troppi stimoli, annusa molto e le piace davvero tanto fare il bagno nel fiume. Non tira al guinzaglio e si lascia vestire con la pettorina molto tranquillamente. Nei contesti cittadini è molto ansiona e spaventata, cerchiamo quindi una persona che con pazienza la porti a scoprire il mondo esterno. Appena possibbile sarà sterilizzata. Al momento convive con un cane pari taglia maschio, quindi si possono valutare eventuali compatibilità.

About Connie

What life with Connie looks like

Connie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

An 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 Connie, answered.

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