PUPA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

PUPA arrived at the ENPA in Turin just a week ago, but we're already in love with her: with her sweet little eyes, that constantly seeking-to-lean-against-you muzzle, and her delicate and fragile request for cuddles… She's a puppy born in March 2025, weighing 17 kg (from the photo, she seems much bigger, we know 😁). Then one day, thankfully, she was taken away from that hell, and now she deserves all the love she has never known. She's compatible with dogs and cats, gentle and kind with adults and children, we recommend you come see her at Via Germagnano 8, Monday through Saturday 13-16.

PUPA è arrivata all’ENPA di Torino da solo una settimana, ma ce ne siamo già innamorati tutti: con i suoi occhioni dolci, quel musetto che cerca continuamente di appoggiarsi a te e la sua richiesta di coccole, così delicata e fragile… E’ una cagnetta nata a marzo 2025, pesa 17 kg (dalla foto sembra ben più grande, lo sappiamo 😁). Poi un giorno per fortuna è stata portata via da quell’inferno, e ora si merita tutto l’amore che non ha mai conosciuto. Compatibile con cani e gatti, mite e gentile con adulti e bambini, vi consigliamo di venire a vederla in Via Germagnano 8, dal lun al sab h13-16. 💫🌸

About PUPA

What life with PUPA looks like

PUPA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Sezione Torino in Torino.

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 PUPA, answered.

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