Poldo

Male · Senior · 12 years

POLDO – dog shelter in Calderara di Reno (BO) BREED: mixed-breed dog GENDER: MALE SIZE: MEDIUM ESTIMATED BIRTH DATE: 11/11/2014 Poldo: golden puppy that drives the world crazy 🤩 Poldo is a young golden puppy that "drives the world crazy", arrived from the south when he was just a puppy. Whether by bad luck or shyness, he is still here waiting for his chance to prove he has great qualities. He loves to play and take long walks outdoors enjoying the company of the person by his side. 🧍🏽‍♀️ For him a getting-to-know-you process is required because he is a bit shy with strangers, but we assure you he is a mix of sweetness and energy. 🐶 Shares the box with a small female dog, so he is ready for socialization with females. 📍 available for adoption in Bologna, province and Emilia Romagna. Requests outside the region are considered only if willing to do a getting-to-know-you process at the dog shelter.

About Poldo

What life with Poldo looks like

Poldo is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Poldo, answered.

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