Adopt Rocco

German Shepherd · Unknown

Rocco (2015) and Bania (2013), male and female German shepherds. We would prefer the adoption of the pair but we also consider them individually, they are hardly compatible with other dogs. Mother and son, a bond to which they were subject prevented us from adopting them but finally we have! Very obedient and good with recall, they become very attached to people. A bit messy in the crate: besides the ball it's fun to play with the blanket too! Negative for heartworm, dewormed and up to date with vaccinations, spaying is mandatory and a home check is required. They are at the animal shelter of San Giuliano Mestre. Would you like to meet them?

Rocco (2015) e Bania (2013), maschio e femmina di pastore tedesco.Preferiremmo l’adozione di coppia ma valutiamo anche singolarmente, assieme difficilmente compatibili con altri cani. Mamma e figlio, un vincolo a cui erano soggetti ci ha impedito di darli in adozione ma finalmente ci siamo! Molto ubbidienti e bravi con il richiamo, si affezionano tanto alle persone. Un po’ disordinati in cuccia: oltre alla pallina é divertente giocare anche con la coperta! Negativi alla filaria, sverminati e in regola con le vaccinazioni, è obbligatoria la sterilizzazione e la visita di preaffido. Si trovano al rifugio di San Giuliano Mestre. Ti piacerebbe conoscerli?

About Rocco

What life with Rocco looks like

Rocco is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) in Venezia VE.

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 Rocco, answered.

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