MINDY

Female · Puppy · 6 months

A timid and cautious little girl dog is wary of strangers, but she makes small progress every day in her socialization journey. She needs a patient family who can understand her insecurities. It's with other dogs that she shows her best side: she loves them! Their presence reassures her and helps her discover the world with greater serenity. For this reason, it would be ideal for her a home where there is already a balanced and sociable dog, who can become her point of reference. For her, we imagine a house with adequate space for a future large size and people aware of the needs of a dog with characteristics related to the Maremma Shepherd.

IT·Show original

Cagnolina timorosa e prudente con gli estranei, ma ogni giorno fa piccoli progressi nel suo percorso di socializzazione. Ha bisogno di una famiglia paziente, capace di comprendere le sue insicurezze. E' con gli altri cani che mostra il suo lato migliore: li adora! La loro presenza la rassicura e la aiuta a scoprire il mondo con maggiore serenità. Per questo motivo sarebbe ideale per lei una casa dove sia già presente un cane equilibrato e socievole, che possa diventare il suo punto di riferimento. Per lei immaginiamo una casa con spazi adeguati a una futura taglia grande e persone consapevoli delle esigenze di un cane con caratteristiche riconducibili al Pastore Maremmano.

About MINDY

What life with MINDY looks like

MINDY is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at ENPA Verona in Verona.

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 MINDY, answered.

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