Adopt Red

Male · Senior · 13 years

Hello everyone, my name is Red, I am a mixed-breed dog all fluff, born on January 1, 2013. I am a small dog calm and gentle, if you are looking for a quiet companion I am the right one for you! Maybe at first I may seem shy, but if you let me sniff you and we will be friends right away! I am still a lively and playful little guy, despite my age, which I wear very well! I'm looking for a family that will welcome me to give me all the love I deserve! Come meet me!

Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Red, sono un volpino meticcio tutto vaporoso, nato l’1 gennaio 2013. Sono un cagnolino calmo e docile, se cerchi un compagno tranquillo sono quello giusto per te! Magari sul subito posso sembrarti timido, ma se ti lasci annusare e diventiamo subito amici! Sono ancora un tipetto attivo e giocoso, nonostante la mia età, che , modestamente, porto benissimo! Cerco una famiglia che mi accolga per donarmi tutto l’amore che merito! Vieni a conoscermi!

About Red

What life with Red looks like

Red is a senior dog waiting at Canile di Comacchio in Italy.

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 Red, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Red?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile di Comacchio 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 — Canile di Comacchio 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 Canile di Comacchio early rather than rehoming privately; they know Red 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.
