Otto

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Otto is waiting for a responsible family, after having had one that abandoned him. Otto has a loyal heart and deserves a different human than the previous one. He is only 1 year old, neutered. In the shelter, he behaves very well, he lets himself be dressed calmly with a harness and leash even though he is a bit impulsive. He is starting to go for walks but is still a bit wary. He needs to find a person who becomes his point of reference. On a leash, he is calm.

IT·Show original

Otto aspetta una famiglia responsabile, dopo averne avuta una che lo ha abbandonato. Otto ha un cuore fedele e merita un umano diverso dal precedente. Ha solo 1 anno, sterilizzato. In canile si comporta benissimo, si lascia vestire tranquillamente con pettorina e guinzaglio anche se è un pò irruento. Sta iniziando a uscire in passeggiata ma è ancora un pò diffidente. Deve trovare una persona che diventi il suo punto di riferimento. Al guinzaglio è tranquillo.

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a large 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. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Otto, answered.

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