How do I contact the shelter about Red?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Red on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Red if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) 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 Red 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 Red 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 Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Red and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Adopt Red

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Red is looking for a home. First of all, let's clarify one thing: Red is not just any dog but a dog-craftsman, his passion is working with wood. As they would say on TV: he is a craftsman of quality. Seriously, this little one is about 10 years old, weighs 7kg, has a real passion for sticks and balls, loves human cuddles and is absolutely compatible with same-size males and females. He has been tested for heartworm, and came back healthy. He is now microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with seasonal preventatives. He has a slight alteration in thyroid values and therefore must follow a simple therapy using a pill that he easily takes with his food. In short, we can say that RED is not the typical puppy that everyone calls, but rather an extraordinary and beautiful candidate for a fabulous ADOPTION OF THE HEART. These adoptions that reserve a lot of unexpected joys and satisfactions. Come on, we can't disappoint RED!!! The animal shelter of San Giuliano in Mestre is open every day from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm for visits.

Red cerca casa. Prima di tutto chiariamo una cosa: Red non è un cane qualsiasi ma un cane-artigiano, la sua passione è lavorare il legno. Come direbbero in tv: è un artigiano della qualità. Scherzi a parte, questo piccolino ha circa 10 anni, pesa 7kg, ha un’autentica passione per legnetti e palline, ama le coccole umane ed è assolutamente compatibile con simili maschi e femmine della sua taglia. È stato testato per la filaria, risultando sano. Ora è microchippato, vaccinato ed in regola con le profilassi stagionali. Ha una piccola alterazione dei valori tiroidei e pertanto deve seguire una semplice terapia con l’uso di una pastiglia che assume tranquillamente con il cibo. Insomma diciamo che RED non è il classico cuccioletto per cui tutto chiamano, ma piuttosto uno straordinario e bellissimo candidato per una favolosa ADOZIONE DEL CUORE. Quelle adozioni che riservano una marea di gioie e soddisfazioni inaspettate.Dai, non possiamo deludere RED!!! Il rifugio di San Giuliano a Mestre è aperto tutti i giorni dalle 14.00 alle 17.00 per le visite. Contatto

About Red

What life with Red looks like

Red is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) in Venezia VE.

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.
