Adopt Nando

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

My name is Nando, I am a Dutch Shepherd mix and I'm looking for a true friend, someone who wants adventures, to have fun with me and to experience a lot together. I'm healthy and neutered, I'm about 3 years old, I have a athletic body and I'm quite smart. I like learning and acquiring new things, I'm curious and cooperative. Very little is known about my past, I was abandoned on the street. I'm good on a leash, well-behaved, I just have some fragility when meeting other dogs, but if you will be a reference for me, I will trust you and give you many satisfactions.

Mi chiamo Nando, sono un mix Pastore Olandese e cerco un amico di quelli veri, che abbia voglia di avventure,di divertirsi copn me e di fare un sacco di esperienze insieme. Sono sano e sterilizzato, ho 3 anni circa, ho un fisico sportivo e sono parecchio intelligente. Mi piace imparare ed apprendere cose nuove, sono curioso e collaborativo. Del mio passato si sa poco, sono stato abbandonato per strada. Al guinzaglio sono bravo, buono, ho solo qualche fragilità quando incontro altri cani, ma se tu sarai per me un punto di riferimento, io mi affiderò e ti darò tante soddisfazioni.

About Nando

What life with Nando looks like

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

An young 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 Nando, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nando?
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 Nando on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nando 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 Nando 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 Nando 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 Nando 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.
