Kimbo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

What did this poor dog do to suffer abandonment. Kimbo, despite everything, is a happy go-lucky dog, a well-behaved dog that loves to play with the ball, as well as very beautiful. Currently lives with two male dogs so he generally gets along with his peers. He just waits for a second chance... let's make his wish come true 💗 KIMBO'S STORY Born on 11/15/16 Kimbo lived in a family and was support for a girl with problems which once resolved, led to the abandonment of the small one. It was no longer needed... or rather it was a bother. Kimbo is now with us at the animal shelter near Naples, he is nice, strong, intelligent and extremely obedient. Medium size, Kimbo will be placed with a loving family, vaccinated microchipped and spayed/neutered, after a careful pre-adoption placement assessment, sign adoption form with documents and post-adoption checks.

Cosa ha fatto di male questo povero cane per subire l'abbandono. Kimbo, nonostante tutto, è un felicione, un cane ubbidiente, che ama giocare con la pallina, oltre che bellissimo. Attualmente convive con due cani maschi quindi va generalmente d'accordo con i suoi simili. Aspetta solo buono buono che arrivi per lui una seconda occasione...facciamo avverare il suo desiderio 💗 STORIA DI KIMBO Nato il 15/11/16 Kimbo viveva in famiglia ed era sostegno di una ragazzina con problemi che una volta risolti, hanno avuto come conseguenza l'abbandono del piccolo. Non serviva più... anzi dava fastidio. Kimbo, ora è con noi al Rifugio vicino Napoli, è bello forte intelligente ed estremamente ubbidiente. Taglia media, Kimbo verrà affidato ad una famiglia amorevole, vaccinato microchippato e sterilizzato, dopo un'attenta valutazione pre affido, firma modulo adozione con documenti e controlli post affido.

About Kimbo

What life with Kimbo looks like

Kimbo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

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 Kimbo, answered.

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