How do I contact the shelter about PAPERINO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Adottami col Cuore handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PAPERINO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt PAPERINO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Adottami col Cuore 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 PAPERINO 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 PAPERINO 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 Adottami col Cuore early rather than rehoming privately; they know PAPERINO 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.

PAPERINO

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Paperino is a medium-sized dog; he is a handsome mixed breed with short fur, weighing around 25/27 kg; he was probably born around mid-2021 in a shelter in Puglia and was then transferred to a boarding facility in Como where he is being guided by educators. In this boarding facility, he is following a program because he is basically shy with humans while trusting more the people he is familiar with. We are looking for patient adopters who will give Paperino time to adapt to the new situation, preferably in a house with a nice garden and plenty of space. He does not get along with male dogs, while with female dogs he needs to go through a process of getting to know each other. Being intact, the female dog must be already spayed. Paperino does not like tight and closed environments and does not know how to walk on a leash. It is possible to visit him in person at the boarding facility and speak directly with the educators to get to know the dog better. He is given with vaccinations, deworming, and microchip. We ask for seriousness, no time-wasters, only adults, adoption through a questionnaire and pre-adoption visit.

IT·Show original

Paperino è una taglia media; è un bel meticcio dal pelo raso, pesa sui 25/27 kg; è nato presumibilmente intorno a metà 2021 in canile in Puglia e da lì è stato poi trasferito in una pensione a Como dove viene seguito dagli educatori. In questa pensione sta seguendo un percorso in quanto è fondamentalmente schivo con gli umani mentre, con le persone di riferimento, si fida di più. Cerchiamo adottanti pazienti che lascino a Paperino il tempo di adattarsi alla nuova situazione, possibilmente in casa con un bel giardino e con ampi spazi. Non va d’accordo con i cani maschi, mentre con le femmine deve fare un percorso di conoscenza. Essendo intero, l’eventuale femmina dovrà comunque essere già sterilizzata. Paperino non ama gli ambienti stretti e chiusi e non sa andare al guinzaglio. È possibile andare a trovarlo di persona in pensione e parlare direttamente con gli educatori per conoscere al meglio il cane. Viene affidato vaccinato, sverminato e con microchip. Chiediamo serietà, no perditempo, solo maggiorenni, adozione tramite questionario e visita preaffido.

About PAPERINO

What life with PAPERINO looks like

PAPERINO is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Adottami col Cuore in Andria (BAT).

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.
