Lorenzo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Lorenzo is a male dog around 1 year old, medium size. He is one of those dogs that makes you smile as soon as you see him, without even knowing why. He is a wonderful setter, big and good, with a soft and gentle way of moving that seems to say, "I am here, and I just want to love you." His soft coat, with those gentle waves of fur that fall lightly along his body, is a caress from afar. When you pet him, you feel silk under your fingers. When he looks at you, you feel the pure kindness of a dog that has never stopped believing in people.

IT·Show original

Maschio di circa 1 anno, tg media Lorenzo è uno di quei cani che, appena li vedi, ti fanno sorridere senza nemmeno sapere perché. Un setter meraviglioso, grande, buono, con quel modo di muoversi morbido e gentile che sembra dire: “Io sono qui, e voglio solo volerti bene”. Il suo manto soffice, con quelle dolci onde di pelo che scendono leggere lungo il corpo, è una carezza già da lontano. Quando lo accarezzi, senti la seta sotto le dita. Quando ti guarda, senti la bontà pura di un cane che non ha mai smesso di credere nelle persone

About Lorenzo

What life with Lorenzo looks like

Lorenzo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Municipale di Asti in Asti (Piemonte).

A young 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 Lorenzo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lorenzo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile Municipale di Asti handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lorenzo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lorenzo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile Municipale di Asti 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lorenzo 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 Lorenzo 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 Municipale di Asti early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lorenzo 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.
