Orange

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Orange is a medium-sized dog, born in April 2024. He is lean despite being a good eater! He eats a lot but absorbs little, perhaps because being surrounded by so many dogs stresses him. He always comes across as cheerful, a bit of a joker, and somewhat wary of male dogs, but only at first meeting. He's a hunting mix, sociable even with male dogs, and ready to follow you to the ends of the earth. Orange is looking for a family or a calm single person, patient and competent, who will dedicate time to him and respect his space... he's looking for a guide and plenty of sincere affection, along with a few simple rules.

IT·Show original

Orange è una taglia media, nato in aprile 2024, è magro nonostante sia una buona forchetta! Mangia tanto ma assimila poco, forse perché essere circondato da tanti cani gli provoca stress. Si fa trovare sempre allegro, un po’ burlone e un po’ diffidente con il genere maschile ma solo al primo incontro. Mix caccia, socievole anche con cani maschi e pronto a seguirvi in capo al mondo. Orange cerca famiglia o single tranquilli nei modi, competenti, che gli dedichino tempo e rispettino i suoi spazi… cerca una guida e tanto affetto sincero, oltre a qualche regoletta.

About Orange

What life with Orange looks like

Orange is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Noirandagi ODV in Piacenza.

A 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 Orange, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Orange?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Noirandagi ODV handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Orange on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Orange if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Noirandagi ODV 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Orange 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 Orange 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 Noirandagi ODV early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orange 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.
