Gru

Male · Senior · 11 years

È arrivato in canile come "ricerca proprietario" ma nessuno è venuto a riscattarlo. Ha un carattere deciso, rispetta e vuole essere rispettato. È socievole ed affettuoso con le persone di cui si fida. Gradisce l'interazione, il contatto e ricevere coccole ma non apprezza le costrizioni. Gru ama impegnarsi in attività di ricerca olfattiva e masticazione. Agile ed energico. Sempre positivo nelle richieste che gli si pongono. Può convivere serenamente con cani femmine e maschi. Per lui cerchiamo una persona decisa e con esperienza, senza bambini, che possa fargli vivere la quotidianità fuori dal canile!

About Gru

What life with Gru looks like

Gru is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Canile della Muratella in Rome.

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 Gru, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gru?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile della Muratella handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gru on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gru if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile della Muratella 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Gru 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 Gru 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 della Muratella early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gru 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.
