Love Joy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Strengths: When Love Joy chooses you, they love you with a wild passion. Once trust is built, Love Joy becomes a truly affectionate tortoise. Cuddles, proximity, and adoring glances are included in the package. Athletic and indefatigable, if you're looking for an excuse to move more, they are the answer. With Love Joy, you can take infinite walks through fields, trails, and forgotten places that even Google Maps doesn't know about. They love to do activities together: they are a collaborative dog who enjoys sharing experiences and building a relationship with their human. They are not afraid of traffic or urban environments: they can handle the city with little difficulty, though their preferred habitat remains nature. Compatible with female dogs: they appreciate the company of well-mannered female canine companions. Stolen Houses. We've tested our guests in a domestic environment, thank you, an opportunity to get to know them better. Watch the video Weaknesses: Being alone is not his strong suit: solitude puts him in difficulty and must be managed with care. The "sharpies" are part of the package: when they decide to express their opinion, they do so with conviction and volume. Cats? No, thank you. Their passion for chasing them is decidedly too intense to consider cohabitation. Building trust is needed: he is not the kind of dog that falls in love at first sight. With him, time and patience must be invested. If left alone or under stress, he may attempt to escape by jumping, so maximum attention to the safety of outdoor spaces is required. Ideal Family: For Love Joy, we are looking for a family with some experience that can dedicate a lot of time to him and love him for all his wonderful facets. Adoption preferred in a house with a garden, not in an urban context, perhaps with another friendly dog that keeps him company.

Punti di Forza: Quando ti sceglie, ti ama alla follia. Una volta costruita la fiducia, Love Joy diventa una vera cozza affettuosa. Coccole, vicinanza e sguardi adoranti sono inclusi nel pacchetto Atletico e instancabile. se stai cercando una scusa per muoverti di più, lui è la risposta. Con Love Joy potrai fare passeggiate infinite tra campi, sentieri e luoghi sperduti che nemmeno Google Maps conosce. Ama fare attività insieme: è un cane collaborativo, a cui piace condividere esperienze e costruire una relazione con il proprio umano. Non teme il traffico o l'ambiente urbano: sa affrontare la città senza particolari difficoltà, anche se il suo habitat preferito resta la natura. Compatibile con cani femmine: apprezza la compagnia delle signorine canine ben educate. Case Rubate. Abbiamo testato i nostri ospiti in ambiente domestico grazie, un’occasione per conoscerli meglio. Guarda il video Punti di Debolezza: Restare da solo non è il suo forte: la solitudine lo mette in difficoltà e va gestita con attenzione. Gli "acutini" fanno parte del pacchetto: quando decide di esprimere la sua opinione, lo fa con convinzione e volume. I gatti? No, grazie. la sua passione per inseguirli è decisamente troppo intensa per pensare a una convivenza. Ha bisogno di costruire fiducia: non è il cane che si innamora di chiunque al primo incontro. Con lui bisogna investire tempo e pazienza. Salto in alto se lasciato solo o sotto stress può tentare la fuga, quindi serve massima attenzione alla sicurezza degli spazi esterni. La famiglia ideale: Per Love Joy cerchiamo una famiglia con un po’ di esperienza che abbia molto tempo da dedicargli e che lo ami per tutte le sue meravigliose sfaccettature. Adozione preferibile in casa con giardino non in contesto urbano, magari con un altro cane socievole che gli faccia compagnia.

About Love Joy

What life with Love Joy looks like

Love Joy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Lega del Cane Padova in Rubano (Padova).

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 Love Joy, answered.

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