Adopt Fiocco

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Name: Fiocco Sex: male Born: 01/05/2019 Fiocco is a young medium-sized mixed-breed dog, lively and energetic, who arrived at the dog shelter following a relinquishment. Fiocco needs a lot of movement and regular contact with balanced dogs, with which he loves to play, run, and take walks. Generally compatible with female conspecifics, Fiocco is quite selective with males. Fiocco is a very intelligent and sensitive dog who feels particularly comfortable in large spaces and needs measured and conscious interactions with people. To properly relate to him, it is important to have a perfect understanding of canine body language and behavior, so that he can gain full trust in people, appreciate their touch, and respond with the great affection he is capable of. The ideal adopter for Fiocco would therefore be an experienced person, able to respect his pace and space, and available to follow a pre-adoption home check with the dog shelter trainer.

Nome: Fiocco Sesso: maschio Nato: 01/05/2019 Fiocco è un giovane meticcio di taglia media, vivace ed esuberante, arrivato in canile in seguito a rinuncia di proprietà. Fiocco ha necessità di compiere molto movimento e di entrare regolarmente in contatto con cani equilibrati, con i quali ama giocare, correre, condividere passeggiate. Generalmente compatibile con conspecifici di sesso femminile, Fiocco è decisamente più selettivo con i maschi. Fiocco è un cane molto intelligente e sensibile che si sente particolarmente a suo agio in luoghi ampi e che ha bisogno di interazioni misurate e consapevoli con le persone. Per relazionarsi correttamente con lui è importante padroneggiare una perfetta conoscenza del codice comunicativo e del comportamento del cane, affinché possa acquisire piena fiducia nelle persone, apprezzarne il contatto, e rispondere con il grande affetto di cui è capace. L’adottante ideale per Fiocco sarebbe, quindi, una persona già esperta, capace di rispettare i suoi tempi e i suoi spazi, e disponibile a seguire un percorso di preaffido con l’istruttrice del canile.

About Fiocco

What life with Fiocco looks like

Fiocco is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Il Vagabondo in Bologna (Emilia-Romagna).

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 Fiocco, answered.

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