Gunter

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Gunter is a splendid young dog who met humans too late, and perhaps the first people he had to deal with weren't very friendly... the fact is, he prefers to keep a few meters of distance. For now he can't bring himself to accept a cuddle, although at the shelter he has closed the gap with the volunteers and is learning to trust them enough to take a little treat from their hands... he's making progress! Born in February 2022, he is looking for a family with plenty of patience, one that doesn't need immediate physical contact and that can win his trust gradually. He needs outdoor space and at least one other dog in the family. Not suitable for a first-time adopter; experience is required.

IT·Show original

Gunter è un giovane splendido cane che ha conosciuto il genere umano troppo tardi e forse i primi umani con cui ha avuto a che fare non brillavano di simpatia… fatto sta che preferisce tenere qualche metro di distanza, non ce la fa per il momento a prendersi una coccola, anche se adesso in rifugio ha accorciato le distanze con i volontari, si sta fidando a prendersi un biscottino dalle loro mani… fa progressi! Nato a Febbraio 2022, cerca famiglia con tanta pazienza, senza necessità di immediati contatti fisici, che sappia conquistare la sua fiducia a gradi. Necessita di spazio esterno e di almeno un altro cane in famiglia. No prima adozione, richiesta competenza.

About Gunter

What life with Gunter looks like

Gunter is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Noirandagi ODV in Piacenza.

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 Gunter, answered.

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