Paride

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

What noise does the quiet breaking of a heart make? Paride is a very sweet dog who gets along with his peers (males and females), good with people of all ages, indifferent to cats, doesn't pull on the leash, very good in the car, well-behaved by the vet... What is missing from him? His "flaw"? He's a dog full of energy (he's not even 2 years old...), whose energy sometimes overflows from that serious dog armor he had to build to survive on the street. He's a dog full of will to live, who needs a human companion or a family that knows how to have patience and understanding while accompanying him during his growth. He's a dog with a tragic past, recovered by us volunteers from the street, where he was used to surviving sleeping on mountains of garbage and eating what he found, a bad fracture on his single leg testifies to the people he met on his way after being abandoned with a collar on his neck in an isolated area. Paride is looking for a family that understands his past and realizes that for any dog the days following the adoption are a delicate transition period, in which he needs time and opportunity to adapt, mediating between his nature and the outside world and teaching him how to control his explosive, overwhelming happiness. Vaccinated, neutered male, dewormed, microchipped Healthy, negative for infectious diseases (leishmaniasis, erlichia, heartworm)

Quanto rumore fa il silenzioso spezzarsi di un cuore? Paride è un cane dolcissimo che va d'accordo con i suoi simili (maschi e femmine), bravo con le persone di tutte le età, indifferente ai gatti, al guinzaglio non tira, bravissimo in macchina, educato dal veterinario... Cosa gli manca?? Il suo "difetto"? È un cane pieno di energie (non ha nemmeno 2 anni...), che a volte straripano da quell'armatura di cane serio che si è dovuto costruire per sopravvivere alla strada. È un cane pieno voglia di vivere che ha bisogno di un compagno umano o di una famiglia che sappia avere pazienza e comprensione nella'accompagnarlo durante la sua crescita. È un cane dal tragico trascorso, recuperato da noi volontari dalla strada, dov'era abituato a sopravvivere dormendo su montagne di spazzatura e mangiando quel che trovava, una brutta fratturata alla zampa unica testimonianza delle persone che ha incontrato sulla sua strada dopo essere stato abbandonato con una catena al collo in una zona isolata. Paride cerca una famiglia che comprenda il suo passato e capisca che per qualunque cane i giorni successivi l'adozione sono un periodo di transizione delicato, in cui bisogna dargli tempo e modo di ambientarsi, mediando tra la sua natura e il mondo esterno e insegnandogli come controllare la propria esplosiva, travolgente felicità. Vaccinato, castrato, sverminato, chippato Sano, negativo a malattie infettive (leishmania, erlichia, filaria) Si trova in Campania ma può arrivare altrove per buona adozione

About Paride

What life with Paride looks like

Paride is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

An 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 Paride, answered.

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