Ozzy

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 5 years

Ozzy is a large, kind and very gentle dog. At first contact he may seem a bit insecure, but it takes very little for him to relax and win everyone over with his sunny personality. He is good on a leash and can easily adapt to any living environment. For cohabitation: no male dogs, to be evaluated with female dogs and cats. He is suitable for families with children provided they are respectful towards animals. Ozzy is just looking for a family that knows how to give him trust and peace... come and meet him. Available for adoption only in Turin and province.

IT·Show original

Ozzy è un cagnolone buono e dolcissimo. Al primo approccio può mostrarsi un po’ insicuro, ma gli basta davvero pochissimo per lasciarsi andare e conquistare tutti con il suo carattere solare. È bravo al guinzaglio e si può adattare bene a qualsiasi contesto abitativo. Per la convivenza: no cani maschi, da valutare con femmine e gatti. È adatto anche a famiglie con bambini purché rispettosi verso gli animali. Ozzy cerca solo una famiglia che sappia dargli fiducia e serenità… venite a conoscerlo. Adottabile solo su Torino e provincia.

About Ozzy

What life with Ozzy looks like

Ozzy is a medium-sized adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at L'Arca di Piera.

An 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 Ozzy, answered.

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