How do I contact the shelter about King?

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 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 — 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 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 Rifugio San Francesco 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.

King

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

King, the Gentle Giant with a Golden Heart! Hello everyone, animal lovers! My name is King and I am a beautiful 2-year-old Pyrenean Mountain Dog, ready to find my forever family. I am a strong and imposing young man, but don't be deceived by my size: I am a bundle of pure sweetness and joy! As soon as I see people, my tail starts wagging wildly and my eyes light up. I am super playful and enthusiastic, especially when someone is ready to interact with me. I really like feeling involved and respond very well to positive attention, becoming even happier and more affectionate. I am really a cuddly little bear, ready to flood you with love! Being a Pyrenean Mountain Dog, I need an owner who knows well the needs of my breed or who is willing to learn how to take care of me with love. I am an intelligent and loyal dog, but I need consistent guidance to best express my balanced character. I will be given microchipped, vaccinated and spayed. I am located in the province of Caserta but I am ready to travel.

King, il Gigante Gentile con un Cuore d'Oro! Ciao a tutti, amici degli animali! Mi chiamo King e sono uno splendido Pastore dei Pirenei di 2 anni, pronto a trovare la mia famiglia per sempre. Sono un ragazzone robusto e imponente, ma non lasciatevi ingannare dalla mia stazza: sono un concentrato di pura dolcezza e allegria! Appena vedo delle persone, la mia coda inizia a scodinzolare all'impazzata e i miei occhi si illuminano. Sono super giocherellone ed entusiasta, soprattutto quando c'è qualcuno pronto a interagire con me. Mi piace un sacco sentirmi coinvolto e rispondo benissimo alle attenzioni positive, diventando ancora più contento e affettuoso. Sono davvero un orsetto coccolone, pronto a inondarvi di amore! Essendo un Pastore dei Pirenei, ho bisogno di un proprietario che conosca bene le esigenze della mia razza o che sia disposto a imparare a gestirmi con amore. Sono un cane intelligente e leale, ma ho bisogno di una guida coerente per esprimere al meglio il mio carattere equilibrato. Verrò affidato chippato, vaccinato e sterilizzato. Mi trovo in provincia di Caserta ma sono pronto a viaggiare.

About King

What life with King looks like

King is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco 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.
