Adopt GIOVE RISERVATO

Female · Puppy · 6 months

For the first time in our adoption history, a mother was adopted before one of her puppies. GIOVE is the last large puppy looking for a home, and as written, her mother was adopted a few months ago. She is a medium-sized dog with a Maremmano Abruzzese bloodline and a very sweet temperament. GIOVE is being kept in a boarding kennel box in Calabria; we don't want her to grow up in there, even though she receives attention and goes out daily for a walk. Her leash manners aren't great yet, but with time and the right technique, dogs learn well. GIOVE can arrive by Saturday; we have videos from early March showing her sweetness. She is neutered, vaccinated, with rabies and EU (Italy) passport, and tested for leishmaniasis, erlichia, and heartworm. She is compatible with all dogs if they are sociable. GIOVE is a nice companion dog, a bit shy at first but because she hasn't seen the world yet. She enjoys being petted and needs a family of her own. In case of interest, please write an email with a brief introduction, and you will be contacted right away.

RISERVATO Per una volta nella storia delle nostre adozioni, una mamma è stata adottata prima di uno dei suoi cuccioli. GIOVE è l’ultimo cucciolone che cerca casa e come scritto, sua madre è stata adottata da qualche mese. Si tratta di un cane con parentela al maremmano abruzzese, di taglia media e con un carattere molto dolce. GIOVE lo stiamo tenendo in un box di una pensione in Calabria, non vorremmo che diventasse grande là dentro, pur ricevendo le attenzioni ed uscendo quotidianamente a fare una corsetta. La sua condotta al guinzaglio non è ancora buona, ci si deve lavorare, ma sono cose che col tempo e la tecnica giusta i cani apprendono bene. GIOVE può arrivare al sabato, abbiamo dei video fatti ad inizio marzo dove si può vedere la sua dolcezza. Viene affidato castrato, vaccinato, con antirabbica e passaporto EU (Italia) e con i test per leishmania, erlichia e filaria. Compatibile con tutti i cani se socievoli. GIOVE è un bel cane da compagnia, un poco timido inizialmente ma perché non conosce il Mondo. Gli piace farsi accarezzare ed ha bisogno di una famiglia tutta per sé. In caso di interesse pf scrivere una mail con una breve presentazione e verrete subito ricontattati. Grazie

About GIOVE RISERVATO

What life with GIOVE RISERVATO looks like

GIOVE RISERVATO is a medium-sized puppy/kitten dog waiting at Via di Fuga – Associazione Adozione Cani in Lugano (TI).

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting GIOVE RISERVATO, answered.

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