FIONA

American Staffordshire Terrier ยท Female ยท Adult ยท 8 years

A small-sized Simil Amstaff (with a few extra pounds... ๐Ÿ˜…): cheerful, friendly, and irresistibly sweet. She loves people and seeks cuddles, contact, and attention. She can win hearts in an instant. With other dogs, she is a tough girl: she has a great personality and prefers to dictate the rules of the game. This is why she would be perfect as a "single daughter" on four legs, or in the company of balanced and calm dogs. We are looking for a serene family willing to take her on nice walks and give her plenty of cuddles on the couch.

About FIONA

What life with FIONA looks like

FIONA is a medium-sized adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at ENPA Verona in Verona.

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" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นAdopting 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 FIONA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about FIONA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ENPA Verona handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw FIONA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt FIONA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” ENPA Verona 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is FIONA 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if FIONA isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with ENPA Verona early rather than rehoming privately; they know FIONA 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 โ€” 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.
