Diego

Pit Bull Terrier · Male

"So' bello, voglio fa' il fotomodello". I'm energetic, very active and I love being with people I trust and with whom I can create a nice bond. Despite my turbulent history, in these years I have managed to show that it is possible to overcome past traumas and turn them into a strength. Having broken down my initial armor, I am an excellent adventure companion. I'm looking for a safe guide who knows how to handle my moments of emotion.

IT·Show original

“So' bello, voglio fa' il fotomodello”. Sono esuberante, molto attivo e amo stare con le persone di cui mi fido e con cui riesco a creare un bel legame. Nonostante la mia storia turbolenta, in questi anni sono riuscito a dimostrare che è possibile superare i traumi passati e farne una propria forza. Abbattuta la mia corazza iniziale, sono un ottimo compagno di avventure. Cerco una guida sicura e che sappia gestire i miei momenti di emotività.

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a medium-sized adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at Gli Amici del Randagio in Mariano Comense (Como).

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 Diego, answered.

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