ETTORE

Cane Corso · Male · Senior · 9 years

ETTORE is a magnificent cane corso born in 2017, who arrived at the dog shelter a few years ago with a difficult past behind him. Raised without rules and left to his own devices, his pain had turned into anger, and the world had become his enemy. But ETTORE taught us that love and patience can work miracles. In a short time, with the support of the dog shelter staff, he began to trust, showing a very sweet, balanced and cooperative side! Thanks to the work done by Davide Battaglia, who took care of the relationship and the behavioral part, ETTORE made great progress, demonstrating that he is a special dog, even in training! Like any cane corso, ETTORE has a determined character and needs a family that knows the breed or has experience with large dogs. With proper management, ETTORE will win your heart with his sweetness and his incredible intelligence!

Ettore è un magnifico cane corso nato nel 2017, arrivato in canile qualche anno fa con un passato difficile alle spalle. Cresciuto senza regole e lasciato a sé stesso, il suo dolore si era trasformato in rabbia, e il mondo era diventato il suo nemico. Ma Ettore ci ha insegnato che l’amore e la pazienza possono fare miracoli. In poco tempo, con il supporto dei dipendenti del canile, ha iniziato a fidarsi, mostrando un lato dolcissimo, equilibrato e collaborativo! Grazie al lavoro svolto da Davide Battaglia, che ha curato la relazione e la parte comportamentale, Ettore ha fatto passi da gigante, dimostrando di essere un cane speciale, anche nell’addestramento! Come ogni cane corso, Ettore ha un carattere deciso e necessita di una famiglia che conosca la razza o abbia esperienza con cani di grande taglia. Con una gestione corretta, Ettore saprà conquistare il tuo cuore con la sua dolcezza e la sua incredibile intelligenza!

About ETTORE

What life with ETTORE looks like

ETTORE is a large senior cane corso dog waiting at Canile San Francesco Padova in Padova.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 ETTORE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ETTORE?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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 ETTORE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ETTORE if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile San Francesco Padova 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 ETTORE 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 ETTORE 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 San Francesco Padova early rather than rehoming privately; they know ETTORE 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.
