Piccolo

Male · Adult · 7 years

(Data di nascita: Giugno 2019) Maschio, incrocio di Pastore, di taglia grande (35 kg). È un cane amorevole e di una dolcezza infinita con le persone, non appena accenni a chinarti verso di lui - anche in passeggiata - immediatamente si avvicina e si appoggia al tuo fianco per ricevere le agognate coccole. È un cane molto simpatico, indipendente e intelligente, è solo un po’ testardo. Ama giocare e correre; è molto socievole con le persone, ma poco predisposto alla convivenza con altri cani maschi. In rifugio ha instaurato un bellissimo rapporto con una femmina adulta, e siamo sicuri che con il giusto percorso potrà imparare a voler bene anche a un’altra sorellina.

About Piccolo

What life with Piccolo looks like

Piccolo is a large adult dog waiting at UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati in Italy.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Piccolo, answered.

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