Greg

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Greg is a very sweet small dog. Unfortunately, Greg has tested positive for heartworm and will need to undergo treatment to become negative. Also, the heart is not perfect, and this will not help with the treatment. Greg is very anxious and distrustful when in new environments, and needs her own time to adapt to changes. We don't know what she has been through to be so marked and frightened. Apart from her fears, as already mentioned, she is really good and sweet, both with people, with whom she always seeks contact, and with dogs and cats. We are looking for a patient family, willing to give her her own time, and to face her fears with her. We promise you that if you have patience, you will be rewarded with all the love Greg knows how to give.

Greg è un cagnolino davvero dolce. Purtroppo è risultato positivo alla filaria e ha dovuto affrontare una cura importante per negativizzrsi. Anche il cuore non è perfetto.. Greg è molto ansioso e diffidente quando si trova in ambienti nuovi, ha bisogno dei suoi tempi per abituarsi ai cambiamenti. Non sappiamo cosa abbia vissuto per essere così segnato e spaventato. A parte le sue paure, come già detto è veramente buono e dolce, sia con le persone, con le quali cerca contatto sempre, sia con cani e gatti. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia paziente, disposta a darle i suoi tempi, e ad affrontare con lui le sue paure. Vi promettiamo che se avrete pazienza sarete ricompensati con tutto l'amore che Greg sa dare.

About Greg

What life with Greg looks like

Greg is a small 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. 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 Greg, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Greg?
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 Greg on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Greg 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 Greg 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 Greg 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 Greg 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.
