Ecate

Unknown · Young · 3 years

It is incredibly beautiful, there's no need to say it... 😅 We can tell you that she is also very curious, cheerful, proactive, nice, loves cuddles and is energetic! As we are getting to know her, it is clear that she hasn't had many experiences, that she hasn't had an adequate human "guide," and that most of her needs as a dog and puppy haven't been met. For this reason, she now presents herself as a "bomb" of energy to burn off, constantly seeking contact and interaction and in need of becoming a more well-mannered and proper lady 😅 What matters most, however, is what she is despite all the shortcomings during such an important phase of growth as the first months of life. Ecate is indeed a sunny and open dog, with a lot of trust in humans, who trusts and is guided by them. Ecate is good in the car and with the help of the trainers and her references, she is slowly learning what it means to go for a walk on a leash. She seems not to fear anything, but it is clear that she still has many things to learn and get used to. With her own kind, she shows a great desire for interaction and play, but since she probably has never seen so many, she still needs to figure out exactly how to do it 😂 For her, we are looking for a family that doesn't stop at just the aesthetic aspect (in fact, fantastic 🤩), but also understands her needs and requirements. Although she is already physically large, Ecate remains a pup, with lots to learn and a lot of desire to do, carrying a heavy past, but above all, with a future still to be built.

Che è incredibilmente bella non c’è di certo bisogno di dirlo… 😅 Possiamo però dirvi che è anche molto curiosa, allegra, propositiva, simpatica, amante delle coccole ed esuberante! Per come la stiamo conoscendo è evidente che non abbia avuto modo di fare molte esperienze, che non ha avuto una “guida” umana adeguata e che gran parte dei suoi bisogni in quanto cane e cucciolo non siano stati soddisfatti. Per questo oggi si presenta come una “bomba” di energia da sfogare, alla continua ricerca di contatto e interazione e bisognosa di diventare una signorina un po’ più educata e “a modo” 😅 Ciò che conta di più però è ciò che è nonostante tutte le mancanze avute in una fase di crescita così importante come lo sono i primi mesi di vita. Ecate è infatti un cane solare e aperto, con tanta fiducia nell’uomo, a cui si affida e da cui si lascia guidare. Ecate è brava in auto e con l’aiuto degli educatori e dei suoi riferimenti piano piano sta imparando cosa significa andare a passeggio a guinzaglio. Non teme apparentemente niente, ma è chiaro che abbia ancora tante cose da conoscere e a cui abituarsi. Con i propri simili mostra una gran voglia d’interazione e gioco, ma non avendone probabilmente mai visti tanti, deve ancora capire esattamente come fare 😂. Per lei cerchiamo una famiglia che non si fermi al solo aspetto estetico (in effetti fantastico 🤩), ma che ne capisca anche i bisogni e le esigenze. Per quanto sia fisicamente già grande, Ecate rimane infatti una cucciolona, con tante cose da apprendere e tanta voglia di fare, con un passato già pesante da portare, ma soprattutto con un futuro ancora tutto da costruire. ECATE – Canile a Calderara di Reno (BO) DATA DI NASCITA: 01/02/2023 SESSO: FEMMINA STERILIZZATA TAGLIA: GRANDE RAZZA: MIX DOGO ARGENTINO 📍 Adottabile a Bologna, provincia e in Emilia Romagna. Si valutano anche richieste fuori regione SOLO se disposti a fare un percorso di conoscenza in canile.

About Ecate

What life with Ecate looks like

Ecate is a young adult dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ecate, answered.

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