PALOMA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

PALOMA is a small mixed-breed dog weighing 6.5kg. 🐣 Born in 2019, she was always in a home, rarely stepping outside of it, and had never met a veterinarian. For her, it was HOME and FAMILY. However, two days ago, she was brought to our shelter, as her family had moved to another country and she was considered too much… who knows why, since she had lived with them there for the first few years… But it's pointless to ask questions, as Paloma doesn't need them. Used to living with children and in a crowded house, she is now alone in a cage. She is negative for heartworm and leishmaniasis, compatible with other dogs, if not too intrusive, and possibly with cats. She is a small female dog in need of a soft bed, lots of scratches, and the security of a home for the rest of her life. 🐞 To meet her:

PALOMA è una meticcia di taglia piccola, pesa 6.5kg. 🐣 Nata nel 2019, è sempre stata in una casa, da cui usciva raramente, non ha mai incontrato un veterinario, ma per lei tutto questo era CASA e FAMIGLIA. Due giorni fa però è stata portata in canile, perchè la sua famiglia è partita per un altro Paese e lei era di troppo…chissà perchè, visto che i primi anni aveva vissuto con loro proprio lì… Ma è inutile fare domande, tanto a Paloma non servono a niente. Abituata ai bambini e a una casa affollata, ora è da sola in un box. Negativa a filaria e leishmania, compatibile con i cani, se non troppo invadenti, e probabilmente con i gatti, è una cagnolina che ha bisogno di una cuccia morbida, tanti grattini e la sicurezza di una casa per il resto della sua vita. 🐞 Per venire a conoscerla: ENPA Torino, Via Germagnano 8, dal lun al sab h13-16

About PALOMA

What life with PALOMA looks like

PALOMA is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Sezione Torino in Torino.

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 PALOMA, answered.

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