DANNY

Male · Adult · 5 years

It has been several months now that our team has welcomed Davide Battaglia: a dog trainer and passionate about our four-legged friends. In this video you can see him together with DANNY. Danny - born in 2021 - has always been a cautious dog, but also curious. Unable to understand how to relate to us calmly, he is especially scared of the leash. Davide helped him manage his emotions by showing him the sweetness of a caress and the beauty of a walk or a sprint in the off-leash area. For him, we are looking for a family that has time to dedicate to him and especially patience. Several meet-and-greet sessions at the dog shelter will be necessary in order to start building a bond and understanding with him. He is a dog who needs to live in a family and not just be kept outside in the yard. Once at home, we are sure, as has already happened with many dogs before him, that DANNY will open up even more and begin to feel more secure. It will be important to introduce him to the outside world at the right pace and listening to the useful advice to help him.

È già da qualche mese che nel nostro staff si è aggiunto Davide Battaglia: educatore e appassionato dei nostri amici a quattro zampe. In questo video potete vederlo insieme a Danny. Danny- età 2021- è sempre stato un cane diffidente, ma allo stesso tempo curioso. Incapace di capire come relazionarsi con noi in modo sereno, ma è soprattutto tanto spaventato dal guinzaglio. Davide l'ha aiutato a gestire le sue emozioni facendogli scoprire la dolcezza di una carezza e la bellezza di una passeggiata o di una corsetta in area sgambamento. Per lui cerchiamo una famiglia che abbia tempo da dedicargli e soprattutto pazienza. Saranno necessari diversi incontri conoscitivi in canile in modo da cominciare a creare un legame/conoscenza con lui. È un cane che ha bisogno di vivere in famiglia e non chiuso fuori solo giardino. Una volta a casa siamo sicuri, come già successo a tanti cani prima di lui, che Danny si aprirà ancora di più e comincerà a sentirsi più sicuro. Sarà importante fargli conoscere il mondo esterno con i giusti tempi e ascoltando i consigli utili per aiutarlo.

About DANNY

What life with DANNY looks like

DANNY is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Canile San Francesco Padova in Padova.

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 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 DANNY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about DANNY?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Canile San Francesco Padova handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DANNY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt DANNY 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 Canile San Francesco Padova whether they will for DANNY, 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 DANNY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for DANNY. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Canile San Francesco Padova, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if DANNY isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Canile San Francesco Padova about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know DANNY 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.
