Adopt JUNIOR

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Announcement of 10/06/2025 Gender: Male Age: 1 and a half years Size: medium-large Temperament: Calm, kind He is not called JUNIOR by chance: he is still writing the first chapter of his story. He is 1 and a half years old and has a tabby coat that seems hand-drawn. Possible molosser mix, but he doesn't know it. He only knows that he was born to trust, but he has learned to take a step back... at least until he understands if you can become his forever human. JUNIOR is sweet slowly, like the beautiful things that are gained with patience. Calm, kind, balanced. Gets along with males and females, and with those who want to build a real bond. He will be a future medium or medium-large size, but his heart is already huge. If you are looking for a companion who doesn't overwhelm, but trusts. If you like puppies that don't jump into arms, but choose you with their eyes... JUNIOR is here. And is waiting to write the "us" of his story. CALL US AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!

About JUNIOR

What life with JUNIOR looks like

JUNIOR is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Casa del Cane Vagabondo in Italy.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 JUNIOR, answered.

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