King

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

King is a fantastic senior dog of 12 years with an enormous heart. Sweet and good-natured with both people and other dogs. He allows himself to be fitted with a harness without fuss. He doesn’t pull on the leash and isn’t reactive to stimuli. He loves to walk in the greenery and get his paws wet in the river. We are looking for a family that can look beyond his age and love him for the rest of his life.

King è un fantastico vecchionedi 12 anni dal cuore enorme. Dolce e buono sia cn le persoe che con gli altri cani. Si lascia vestire tranquillamente con la pettorina. Non tira al guinzaglio e non è reattivo agli stimoli. Ama passeggiare nel verde e inzuppare le zampette nel fiume. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia che sappia andare oltre l'eta e lo ami per il resto della vita.

About King

What life with King looks like

King is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

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 King, answered.

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