Gio

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Gio è un dolcissimo simil Labrador adulto, taglia grande. E' stato trovato con una vecchia frattura alla zampa posteriore che gli dà un'andatura imperfetta, ma che gli permette comunque di muoversi in totale autonomia. Buonissimo con le persone dalle quali cerca coccole ed attenzioni. Non ha problemi ad essere manipolato per mettere pettorina e guinzaglio o per essere spazzolato. Si mostra diffidente con gli altri cani ma si può comunque provare un'eventuale compatibilità. Cerchiamo per lui persone che adorino i cani "cozza" e abbiano voglia di dare amore a Gio per tutto il resto della sua vita.

About Gio

What life with Gio looks like

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

An 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 Gio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gio?
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 Gio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gio 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Gio 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 Gio 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 Gio 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.
