LUCKINA e GIOIA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 6 months

LUCKINA e GIOIA, unfortunately, were snatched by a large puppy, along with Macchia (adopted) and Misurino (still in the dog shelter). They were an entire litter that had not been socialized, and undoubtedly should have continued to live free. Unfortunately, they instead entered a dog shelter, from which we have been trying to save them by giving them a chance in Pistoia. While Macchia’s adoption went well, we still cannot say the same for these two sisters and their more frightened brother, but we are working to ensure that all of them have the greatest possible freedom, especially the choice to stay with us, interact, or not. For them, a true miracle of adoption would be needed. With someone who has a nice outdoor space that is fenced and maybe other dogs and who does not have the expectation of taming these creatures born free. We continue to try. We owe it to them and to all the dogs in the world… Age: 2012 background :

LUCKINA e GIOIA, purtroppo, sono state accalappiate randagie da cucciolone, insieme a Macchia (adottata) e Misurino (ancora in canile). Erano un’intera cucciolata non socializzata, che , decisamente, avrebbe dovuto continuare a vivere libera. Purtroppo sono invece entrate in un canile, dal quale abbiamo cercato di salvarle dando loro una possibilità a Pistoia. Se per Macchia è andata bene, ancora non si può dire lo stesso per queste due sorelline ed il loro, più spaventato fratello, ma stiamo cercando di garantire a tutti, la maggiore libertà possibile, soprattutto dalla scelta di stare con noi, cercare di interagire, oppure no. Per loro ci vorrebbe un vero miracolo di adozione. Con qualcuno che avesse un bello spazio esterno e cintato e magari altri cani e che non avesse l’aspettativa di snaturare queste creature nate libere. Noi continuiamo a provare. Lo dobbiamo a loro ed a tutti i cani del mondo… Età : 2012 Provenienza : Progetto Sud, Molise

About LUCKINA e GIOIA

What life with LUCKINA e GIOIA looks like

LUCKINA e GIOIA is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Pistoia in Pistoia.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 LUCKINA e GIOIA, answered.

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