How do I contact the shelter about DAKOTA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile di Trento handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DAKOTA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt DAKOTA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile di Trento 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 DAKOTA 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 DAKOTA 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 di Trento early rather than rehoming privately; they know DAKOTA 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.

DAKOTA

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Male Age: Born in October 2023 (about 2.5 years old) Size: Medium (about 23-25 kg) Breed: Mixed Origin: Calabria (now in a shelter) Dakota is a beautiful dog who carries the difficult past of many dogs from the South. He experienced early abandonment in Calabria, then was rescued in 2024. Today, Dakota is in a shelter and is looking for a forever family to help him forget the shadows of his past. His character: Docile soul: Dakota is a deeply good dog, devoid of any form of aggression. Compatible and peaceful: He gets along serenely with people and relates positively with other dogs. Looking for trust: Due to the trauma of abandonment, he initially shows himself to be distrustful and frightened with those he doesn't know. He just needs time and a gentle approach to open up and show all his sweetness. Ideal adoption: We are looking for a patient and aware family for Dakota, preferably in a not too chaotic environment. Someone who knows how to respect his adaptation times and guide him in overcoming his insecurities. For info and adoption, write to

About DAKOTA

What life with DAKOTA looks like

DAKOTA is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile di Trento in Italy.

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.
