Macchia

Male · Adult · 6 years

E’ un piccolo cane, meticcio di 6 anni, ospite del rifugio della Protezione Animali di Cadibona; la diagnosi del suo “disturbo” è molto semplice: ha avuto uno o più padroni maschi che lo hanno crudelmente maltrattato, fino a fargli identificare il male ed il terrore in ogni uomo che incontra. Ora i volontari della Protezione Animali cercano per Macchia una famiglia di sole donne con almeno una casalinga che gli faccia compagnia per buona parte del giorno e della notte; le interessate sono pregate di rivolgersi a Silvia, numero 347 4152715.

About Macchia

What life with Macchia looks like

Macchia is a adult dog waiting at ENPA Savona in Savona.

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 Macchia, answered.

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