PLUTO

Male

Pluto arrived at the shelter after spending many years in a health kennel, most likely the dog of a hunter who got rid of him after using him for years for hunting. He is very sweet, like all hounds, very affectionate with people and mild with other dogs. He only needs a family to take care of the traumas suffered in the past, he also had an accident and arrived with a damaged little paw, so he limps a little. We believe Pluto has paid enough years in a kennel, we hope a nice adoption comes soon for him, he is a wonderful dog.

IT·Show original

E’ arrivato in rifugio da noi dopo aver passato molti anni in un canile sanitario, molto probabilmente era il cane di un cacciatore che se ne è sbarazzato dopo averlo utilizzato per anni alla caccia. E' dolcissimo, come tutti i segugi, molto affettuoso con le persone e mite con gli altri cani. Ha bisogno solo di una famiglia per curare i traumi subiti in passato, ha avuto anche un incidente ed è arrivato con una zampetta lesionata, guarita male perciò zoppica un pochino. Crediamo che Pluto abbia scontato abbastanza anni in un canile, speriamo arrivi presto una bella adozione per lui, è un cane meraviglioso.

About PLUTO

What life with PLUTO looks like

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

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting PLUTO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about PLUTO?
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 PLUTO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt PLUTO 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 PLUTO 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 PLUTO 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 PLUTO 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.
