Adopt LAST

Unknown

LAST – A really special and rather reserved dog. He is one of the few who, when someone passes by his crate, sits calmly and waits. But it's enough to take him on a leash and take him into the woods to realize his desire to live, explore, jump into streams or play with pinecones and destroy them in a few seconds. He's a fox, a sly fellow always attentive, a bodyguard by nature or maybe it's better to say a mussel... In short, he's also looking for the big chance to run wild on sofas and armchairs. With his kind, he's "fair play", "live and let live" is his motto! A gentleman. His friend Gloria suggests: "Extremely intelligent, he could give great satisfaction, especially in a house in the middle of greenery with spaces of freedom." His friend Linda says: "He is very intelligent and sensitive and with his type of sensitivity you must not be invasive or overly physical, the contact with him must be delicate and very respectful"

LAST – Cane davvero speciale e piuttosto riservato. È uno dei pochi che quando si passa davanti al suo box, sta compostamente seduto e aspetta. Ma è sufficiente prenderlo al guinzaglio e portarlo nel bosco per accorgersi della sua voglia di vivere, esplorare, tuffarsi nei ruscelli o giocare con le pigne e distruggerle in pochi secondi. È una volpe, un furbacchione sempre attento, un bodyguard per natura o forse è meglio dire una cozza… Insomma, anche lui cerca la grande occasione per scorrazzare indomito su divani e poltrone. Con i suoi simili è “fair play”, vivi e lascia vivere il suo motto! Un signore. La sua amica Gloria suggerisce: “Estremamente intelligente, potrebbe dare enormi soddisfazioni specie in una casa in mezzo al verde con spazi di libertà” La sua amica Linda dice: “È molto intelligente e sensibile e con il suo tipo di sensibilità non bisogna essere invadenti o eccessivamente fisici, il contatto con lui deve essere delicato e molto rispettoso” Home Privacy Web Policy Privacy Mappa del sito

About LAST

What life with LAST looks like

LAST is a adult dog waiting at Rifugio del Gazzo in Genova.

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 LAST, answered.

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