GILDO

Male · Young · 2 years

Very wary, fearful and insecure. For him, a reaching hand is not always a caress coming, but a doubt to decipher. He is what many would call a "difficult" dog, but we prefer to call him a dog that needs time. He is not looking for a simple owner, he is looking for an experienced and aware travel companion. His ideal human: has a lot of patience!!

IT·Show original

Molto diffidente, pauroso e insicuro. Per lui, una mano tesa non è sempre una carezza in arrivo, ma un dubbio da decifrare. È quello che molti definirebbero un cane "difficile", ma noi preferiamo definirlo un cane che ha bisogno di tempo. ​Non cerca un semplice padrone, cerca un compagno di viaggio esperto e consapevole. Il suo umano ideale: ha molta pazienza!!

About GILDO

What life with GILDO looks like

GILDO is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at ENPA Verona in Verona.

An young 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 GILDO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about GILDO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ENPA Verona handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw GILDO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt GILDO if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 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 €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is GILDO 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 GILDO 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 ENPA Verona early rather than rehoming privately; they know GILDO 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.
