Adopt Mec

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Mec, another surrender suddenly thrown upon us without any explanation. Adopted from a puppy, to date he seems little accustomed to walks and constraints. Returned after the latest bad fight with the daughter's pitbull with whom he shared the garden. Our advice to keep them separate and manage them has been of no use. He is desperate.... obviously a mix amstaff. What to say? We have no more words. Mec is an energetic dog, very physical in contact, loves walks but has difficulty managing his emotions; for him we are looking for someone with experience and who is available for meeting in the dog shelter and a support program with our trainers who are currently following him in the dog shelter. No children and no elderly people.

Mec, altra rinuncia piombataci addosso all'improvviso senza se e senza ma. Adottato da cucciolo ad oggi sembra poco abituato alle passeggiate e alle costrizioni. Riportato dopo l'ennesima brutta lite con la pitbull della figlia con cui condivideva il giardino. A nulla sono valsi i ns consigli di tenerli e gestirli separatamente. É disperato.... ovviamente mix amstaff. Cosa dire? Non abbiamo più parole. Mec è un cane energico, molto fisico nel contatto, ama le passeggiate ma ha difficoltà a gestire le sue emozioni, per lui cerchiamo qualcuno con esperineza e che sia disponibile a incontri conoscitivi in canile e un percorso di affiancamento con i nostri educatori che lo stanno seguendo al momento in canile. No bambini e no persone anziane.

About Mec

What life with Mec looks like

Mec is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

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 Mec, answered.

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