Gigi

Male · Puppy · 6 months

Hello everyone, I am Gigi, a large mixed-breed dog with very soft fur, born on June 1, 2023. I am a shy and reserved type, but with an initial acquaintance, accompanied by a generous amount of cookies and some cuddles, I relax! I like to run and play, so I'm looking for a home with adequate space for my size, so I can burn off all my energy! I really want to have a family all for myself, to give and receive the love I deserve. Come meet me!

Ciao a tutti, io sono Gigi, un cucciolone meticcio taglia grande con il pelo morbidissimo, nato il 1 giugno 2023. Sono un tipo timido e riservato, ma con una buona conoscenza iniziale, condita da una copiosa dose di biscottini e un po’ di coccole, mi lascio andare! Mi piace correre e giocare, per questo cerco una casa con uno spazio adeguato alla mia stazza, in modo da sfogare tutta la mia energia! Ho tanta voglia di avere una famiglia tutta per me, donare e ricevere l’amore che merito. Vieni a conoscermi!

About Gigi

What life with Gigi looks like

Gigi is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at Canile di Comacchio 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 Gigi, answered.

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