Mister

Male · Senior · 12 years

(Birthdate: January 2014) Male Segugio, medium size (24 kg). In harmony with his box mate Missis, he has an independent nature, slightly wary of men and unfamiliar environments, but is easy to win over: it takes little to understand the gentleness that distinguishes him. Once he gains confidence, he opens up and readily accepts affection. Good on a leash, he loves walks in the park. Adoption preferably as a "single child" in a "not too" urban environment.

MASCHIO - NATO Gennaio 2014 - SEGUGIO - TAGLIA MEDIA ABBONDANTE (24 KG) In sintonia con la sua compagna di box Missis, ha un carattere indipendente, leggermente diffidente nei confronti degli uomini e degli ambienti che non conosce, ma è facile da conquistare: basta poco per capire la dolcezza che lo contraddistingue. Quando prende confidenza si apre e accetta di buon grado le coccole. Bravo al guinzaglio, adora passeggiare al parco. Adozione preferibilmente come “figlio unico" in un ambiente “poco” urbano.

About Mister

What life with Mister looks like

Mister is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati in Italy.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mister, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mister?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mister on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mister if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati whether they will for Mister, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mister already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Mister. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mister isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mister 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.
