Adopt Dumbo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Dumbo and Pluto, born in July 2022, future medium/large size, are two affectionate brothers, but they have the habit of "delicately" showing affection by jumping on you. Compatible with males and females after introduction. Can be adopted individually. Dumbo has 2 very long ears and is the calm one of the pair, while Pluto is a tornado and never stops moving. Both have had eye surgery which they have overcome and are now in excellent health. Dewormed and up to date with vaccinations, sterilization and a pre-adoption home check are mandatory. They are located at our animal shelter in Mira. Would you like to meet them?

About Dumbo

What life with Dumbo looks like

Dumbo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) in Venezia VE.

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 Dumbo, answered.

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