LEONE

Male · Adult · 5 years

Arrived at the shelter as a puppy with his brother, he immediately showed a very shy and fearful character, so despite his beautiful appearance, he has not yet found a home. We hope that the right person will come along and be able to overcome his diffidence.

IT·Show original

Arrivato in rifugio da cucciolo insieme al fratello, ha da subito manifestato un carattere molto schivo e timoroso per cui, nonostante il suo bellissimo aspetto, non ha ancora trovato casa.Ci auguriamo che arrivi anche per lui la persona giusta capace di superare lo scoglio della sua diffidenza.

About LEONE

What life with LEONE looks like

LEONE is a large adult dog waiting at ENPA Verona in Verona.

An 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 LEONE, answered.

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