How do I contact the shelter about Mentos?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ENPA Monza e Brianza handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mentos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mentos if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ENPA Monza e Brianza 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 Mentos 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 Mentos 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 Monza e Brianza early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mentos 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.

Mentos

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Generalities: microchipped and vaccinated, a mixed-breed dog, a sheepdog cross with white fur like snow and a beautiful black nose. Character: Mentos is a bit shy towards people he doesn't know, but once he gets to know you he can be very sweet. As a good sheepdog crossbreed, he could become a good guard dog once settled in a home. He tends to pull on the leash, so it is necessary to have good physical strength to handle him. While walking he is a bit insecure, used to wearing a harness. Ideal adoption: Suitable for people with some experience with shy dogs or for first-time owners who are willing to be guided by a professional if difficulties arise. Young, active people who are willing to dedicate time to the dog and provide the necessary activities to make him happy. Adoption placement may be possible with another dog; a character compatibility test will be required to be conducted at the dog shelter in the presence of an operator. Quiet family environments and living situations. At home he might do a bit of guarding, so proper management will be needed when strangers enter. We do not exclude apartments, although having a little garden would be better, as he will still live in the house and need daily walks to ensure his psychological and physical well-being. background:

Generalità: Microchippato e vaccinato, meticcio incrocio cane da pastore dal pelo candido come la neve e un bel nasone nero. Carattere: Mentos è un cane un po’ timido nei confronti di chi non conosce, poi una volta rotto il ghiaccio sa essere anche molto dolce. Da buon incrocio cane da pastore potrebbe fare la guardia una volta ambientato in casa. A guinzaglio tira un po’ è perciò necessario avere una buona forza fisica per riuscire a gestirlo, in passeggiata è un po’ insicuro, abituato ad indossare la pettorina. Adozione ideale: Bene per coloro che abbiano un po’ di esperienza con cani timidi o se alla prima esperienza che siano disposti a farsi seguire da un professionista in caso di difficoltà. Persone giovani e dinamiche che abbiano voglia di dedicarsi al cane facendogli fare le dovute attività per fare in modo che possa essere appagato. Possibile l’affido in presenza di un altro cane, verrà richiesta la prova di compatibilità caratteriale da effettuarsi in canile in presenza di un operatore. Contesti famigliari ed abitativi tranquilli. In casa potrebbe fare un po’ di guardia, servirà quindi una corretta gestione in caso di ingresso di sconosciuti. Non escludiamo l’appartamento, anche se sarebbe meglio avere un pochino di giardino a sua disposizione, vivendo comunque in casa e garantendogli le dovute passeggiate giornaliere necessarie per il suo benessere psicofisico. Provenienza: La proprietaria lo deve cedere per mancanza di tempo

About Mentos

What life with Mentos looks like

Mentos is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
