How do I contact the shelter about Patollo?

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

Can I adopt Patollo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ENPA Monza e Brianza 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 Patollo 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 Patollo 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 Monza e Brianza early rather than rehoming privately; they know Patollo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Patollo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Generalities: microchipped and vaccinated, a German Shepherd with typical black and tan coat. Character: Patollo is not too intrusive towards people. Probably in his life before arriving at the dog shelter he was not used to using a leash, so he tends to zigzag and pull, although with a bit of physical strength he is well manageable; he tends to be bothered by the use of a harness, for this reason we currently manage him with a collar, then later we will see if it will be possible to also introduce the use of the harness. Although he is no longer a young dog, it seems he has had few experiences, so he needs to gradually get to know the world. Ideal adoption: Better adoption placement with people who have experience with dogs and who are willing to dedicate time to him. Not suitable with children. Adoption placement should be evaluated in the presence of another well-balanced dog, with good management of spaces and resources, a character compatibility test must be carried out at our dog shelter in the presence of an operator. Better in a house where there is also a small piece of garden, although it is required that he lives in the house with the family and that he is guaranteed daily walks necessary for his psychophysical well-being. In case the garden borders a area where another dog is present or on a busy road, it is better to use a blind. background:

Generalità: Microchippato e vaccinato, pastore tedesco dal tipico pelo nero focato Carattere: Patollo è un cane non troppo invadente nei confronti delle persone. Probabilmente nella sua vita prima di arrivare in canile era poco abituato all’utilizzo del guinzaglio infatti va un po’ a zig-zag e tira, anche se con un po’ di forza fisica è ben gestibile; tende ad essere infastidito dall’uso della pettorina, proprio per questo per ora lo gestiamo con il collare, poi più avanti vedremo se si riuscirà ad inserire anche l’uso della pettorina. Nonostante non sia più un giovincello, sembra aver fatto poche esperienze, per cui ha bisogno di conoscere gradualmente il mondo. Adozione ideale: Meglio l’affido con persone che abbiano già esperienza di cani e che abbiano voglia di dedicargli tempo. No con bambini. Da valutare l’affido in presenza di un altro cane bene equilibrato, con una buona gestione di spazi e risorse, viene richiesta la prova di compatibilità caratteriale da effettuarsi presso il nostro canile in presenza di un operatore. Meglio in una casa dove sia presente anche un pezzettino di giardino anche se viene richiesto che viva in casa in presenza della famiglia e che gli vengano garantite le dovute passeggiate giornaliere necessarie per il suo benessere psicofisico. In caso in cui il giardino confini con una zona dove sia presente un altro cane o su una strada di forte passaggio è meglio l’utilizzo di un oscurante. Provenienza: Accalappiato

About Patollo

What life with Patollo looks like

Patollo is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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.
