Dum

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

A male approximately 4 years old, medium size Dum, the soft curly setter who dreams of happiness. There are dogs that win you over with a glance. Dum, however, wins you over with his entire being: his infectious cheerfulness, his good nature, and that wonderful curly head that makes you want to stroke him as soon as you see him. This splendid liver-colored setter is a concentration of sweetness and charm. Lively, energetic, always ready to share a moment with you, Dum is one of those dogs that make even the most ordinary days more beautiful. He has recently discovered a simple pleasure that is natural for many dogs, but for him it represents a small conquest: playing with a ball. We watch him as he chases it with enthusiasm, each day a little more confident, each day a little happier. These moments tell us a lot about him and his desire to live. Dum doesn't ask for much. In his heart is a simple and beautiful dream: to run free in a field, feel the grass under his paws, and have a special person by his side. A human companion who throws him the ball, who shares walks and adventures, and who sometimes simply stops to mess up his soft curls on his head while he closes his eyes content. Because Dum is like that: an affectionate, sincere dog, capable of finding happiness in small things. A caress, a game, a friendly presence. Nothing more. He is a good dog, Dum. The kind that enters your life on tiptoe and ends up becoming an indispensable part of it. The kind that doesn't seek perfection, but simply someone to love and follow with trust. If you are looking for a loyal, cheerful, and very tender friend, stop and look at those sweet eyes and those irresistible curls. Maybe he is the companion you have been waiting for.

Maschio di circa 4 anni, tg media Dum, il setter dai morbidi ricci che sogna la felicità Ci sono cani che conquistano con uno sguardo. Dum, invece, conquista con tutto sé stesso: con la sua allegria contagiosa, con il suo carattere buono e con quel meraviglioso capo ricciuto che viene voglia di accarezzare appena lo si vede. Questo splendido setter color fegato è un concentrato di dolcezza e simpatia. Brioso, vivace, sempre pronto a condividere un momento insieme, Dum è uno di quei cani che rendono più belle anche le giornate più normali. Da poco ha scoperto un piacere semplice che per molti cani è naturale, ma che per lui rappresenta una piccola conquista: giocare con la pallina. Lo osserviamo mentre la rincorre con entusiasmo, ogni giorno un po' più sicuro, ogni giorno un po' più felice. Sono momenti che raccontano tanto di lui e della sua voglia di vivere. Dum non chiede molto. Nel suo cuore c'è un sogno semplice e bellissimo: poter correre libero in un prato, sentire l'erba sotto le zampe e avere accanto una persona speciale. Un compagno umano che gli lanci la pallina, che condivida passeggiate e avventure, e che ogni tanto si fermi semplicemente a scompigliargli i ricci morbidi sulla testa mentre lui chiude gli occhi soddisfatto. Perché Dum è così: un cane affettuoso, sincero, capace di trovare la felicità nelle piccole cose. Una carezza, un gioco, una presenza amica. Nulla di più. È un buon cane, Dum. Di quelli che entrano in punta di piedi nella tua vita e finiscono per diventarne una parte indispensabile. Di quelli che non cercano la perfezione, ma semplicemente qualcuno da amare e da seguire con fiducia. Se state cercando un amico leale, allegro e tenerissimo, fermatevi a guardare quei suoi occhi dolci e quei ricci irresistibili. Forse è proprio lui il compagno che stavate aspettando.

About Dum

What life with Dum looks like

Dum is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Municipale di Asti in Asti (Piemonte).

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 Dum, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dum?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile Municipale di Asti handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dum on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dum if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile Municipale di Asti 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Dum 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 Dum 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 Municipale di Asti early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dum 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.
