Adopt FEBE

Cane Corso · Unknown · Puppy · 12 months

FEBE, 12 months. Her story: After the dog shelter, she lived with a family for 6 months, but the adoption did not go well due to her strong insecurity that prevented her from adapting to the required rhythms. Her character: FEBE is extremely frightened and has difficulty dealing with new things and external stimuli. It's not hostility, but a vital need for security. What she needs: We are looking for a family that already has experience with shy dogs and lives in a quiet environmental setting. It is essential to have the desire to undertake a slow and respectful getting-to-know-you process, supported by professionals, to avoid repeating past mistakes. For FEBE, the presence of another dog in the family would not only be appreciated, but a real therapeutic resource. We are looking for a home where there is already an balanced, calm and socialized dog that can serve as her "anchor" and guide. Seeing a similar dog interact confidently with people and move securely in the domestic environment would help FEBE overcome her fears much more quickly, offering her a positive model to imitate in moments of uncertainty. Today at the dog shelter, FEBE has found a box mate who is acting as her guide. Thanks to him, we have seen the first timid steps towards trust; she looks at him, imitates him and feels protected. This confirms that the presence of another balanced dog in the family would be very helpful for her.

Febe, 12 mesi La sua storia: Dopo il canile, ha vissuto 6 mesi in famiglia, ma l'adozione non è andata a buon fine a causa della sua forte insicurezza che non le ha permesso di adattarsi ai ritmi richiesti. Il suo carattere: Febe è estremamente spaventata e fatica a gestire le novità e gli stimoli esterni. La sua non è cattiveria, ma un bisogno vitale di sicurezza. Di cosa ha bisogno: Cerchiamo una famiglia che abbia già esperienza con cani timorosi e che viva in un contesto ambientale tranquillo. È fondamentale la voglia di intraprendere un percorso conoscitivo lento e rispettoso, supportato da professionisti, per non ripetere gli errori del passato. Per Febe, la presenza di un altro cane in famiglia non sarebbe solo gradita, ma una vera e propria risorsa terapeutica. Cerchiamo per lei un contesto dove sia già presente un cane equilibrato, sereno e socializzato, che possa farle da "ancora" e da guida. Vedere un suo simile interagire con fiducia verso l'uomo e muoversi con sicurezza nell'ambiente domestico aiuterebbe Febe a superare i suoi timori molto più velocemente, offrendole un modello positivo da imitare nei momenti di incertezza. Oggi in canile Febe ha trovato un compagno di box che le sta facendo da guida. Grazie a lui, abbiamo visto i primi timidi passi verso la fiducia; lo guarda, lo imita e si sente protetta. Questo ci conferma che per lei la presenza di un altro cane equilibrato in famiglia sarebbe di grande aiuto. Per info e adozioni scrivere a

About FEBE

What life with FEBE looks like

FEBE is a puppy/kitten cane corso dog waiting at Canile di Trento in Italy.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 FEBE, answered.

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