PENNY

Female · Young · 1 year

A young female Italian Greyhound named Penny was adopted from the south but unfortunately ended up in the wrong family and is now looking for a forever home. Upon arrival, she was very wary but quickly made huge progress, learning to trust and open up. She now lives with other dogs and has settled in well. She is a lively, curious and full of potential dog. She will need a family willing to continue her educational journey and guide her with consistency and gentleness. One thing that makes her really special is that she loves water! For Penny, we are looking for patient and aware people, ready to give her the time she needs to feel safe and build a relationship with her based on trust.

Adottata da cucciola dal Sud, purtroppo è finita nella famiglia sbagliata e oggi si trova nuovamente alla ricerca di una casa che sia per sempre. Appena arrivata era molto diffidente ma in poco tempo ha fatto enormi progressi, imparando a fidarsi e ad aprirsi sempre di più. Oggi vive con altri cani e si è ambientata benissimo. È una cagnolina vivace, curiosa e piena di potenzialità. Avrà bisogno di una famiglia disposta a continuare il suo percorso educativo e a guidarla con coerenza e dolcezza. C'è una cosa che la rende davvero speciale: adora l'acqua! Per Penny cerchiamo persone pazienti e consapevoli, pronte a darle il tempo necessario per sentirsi al sicuro e a costruire con lei un rapporto basato sulla fiducia.

About PENNY

What life with PENNY looks like

PENNY is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at ENPA Verona in Verona.

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 PENNY, answered.

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