GOLIA

Mixed Breed · Male

ANGUS BLUE mixed-breed dog, small to medium size, about 10 kg, born around early 2021. Shy personality. We don't have any history or references for GOLIA, he was found wandering in the countryside, no chip, no collar: he had a metal collar that made us think he had an owner. But days and weeks passed and no one looked for him. GOLIA is now looking for a new home but is not suitable for families with children or for first-time owners.

About GOLIA

What life with GOLIA looks like

GOLIA is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio APA Chioggia in Italy.

An 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 GOLIA, answered.

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