Gigi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Gigi è un nuovo arrivo qui a canile. Giovanissimo, un anno soltanto e già ha dovuto conoscere il canile. Buono con le persone, delle quali cerca compagnia e attenzioni. Condivide il box con altri cani sia maschi che femmine, si può quindi testare un'eventuale compatibilità. Adora andare a spasso, soprattutto in mezzo al verde e alla natura. Ama annusare e fare delle belle corse, ha mille energie da sfogare. Non ha problemi con la vestizione, mette volentieri la pettorina. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia che sia per lui un punto di riferimento e che gli consenta di fare tutte le esperienze che fino ad ora non ha potuto vivere.

About Gigi

What life with Gigi looks like

Gigi is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Gigi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gigi?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile Rifugio di Brescia 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 Rifugio di Brescia 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Rifugio di Brescia 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.
