Goku's story: Goku was born on May 1st, 2017, and at just three months old, arrived at the animal shelter with his brothers. Unfortunately, only one of them found a family, while Goku remained waiting. Could it be that no one has noticed him? He is a kind and sweet dog, a bit shy of some noises. All he desires is a family that will love him forever. An opportunity for Goku Goku is in Naples, but can reach his new family throughout Italy. He will be given with microchipped, vaccinated and spayed.

Hai mai sognato di avere un amico a quattro zampe che ti abbracciasse con tutto il suo amore? Allora devi conoscere Goku! Questo splendido cucciolone di taglia media, con il suo manto morbido e tigrato, è un concentrato di dolcezza e affetto. Goku è un cane speciale: adora le coccole, cerca costantemente il contatto umano e, quando vuole dimostrarti quanto ti vuole bene, ti abbraccia con le sue zampe! La sua storia Goku è nato il 1° maggio 2017 e, a soli tre mesi, è arrivato in rifugio insieme ai suoi fratelli. Purtroppo solo uno di loro ha trovato una famiglia, mentre Goku è rimasto ad aspettare. Possibile che nessuno si sia accorto di lui? È un cane buono e dolce, un pò timoroso di alcuni rumori. Tutto ciò che desidera è una famiglia che lo ami per sempre. Un'opportunità per Goku Goku si trova a Napoli, ma può raggiungere la sua nuova famiglia in tutta Italia. Verrà affidato chippato, vaccinato e sterilizzato.

About Goku

What life with Goku looks like

Goku is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Goku, answered.

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