Lucky

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

Oct 18, 2024 | adoptable dogs Lucky is a very energetic, very friendly, cooperative and cheerful Mastiff mix. Lucky is a property surrender, raised at home since puppy, owner-surrendered because too exuberant!! But from a large puppy what do you expect? Not compatible with cats, small dogs due to his strong predatory instinct. A placement in a family with a female dog will be considered, provided it is well-balanced. Lucky needs a lot of affection and loves physical contact. Don't let my cheerfulness slowly fade behind the cold bars of this box! You will be informed of the dog shelter news and we will never give anyone your email C.

Ott 18, 2024 | cani-adottabili Lucky è un mix molosso molto energico, simpaticissimo, collaborativo e allegro. Lucky è una rinuncia di proprietà, cresciuto a casa fin da cucciolo, ceduto perchè troppo esuberante!! Ma da un cucciolone cosa si pretende? Non compatibile con gatti, cani di taglia piccola per il suo marcato istinto predatorio. Si valuterà un inserimento in famiglia con un cane femmina, purchè equilibrata. Lucky ha molto bisogno di affetto e adora il contatto fisico. Non lasciate che la mia allegria si spenga lentamente dietro le fredde sbarre di questo box! Sarai informato delle novità del canile e non daremo mai a nessuno la tua email C.da Margitello - Chiaramonte

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a medium-sized adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at Canile Rifugio degli Iblei in Italy.

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 Lucky, answered.

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