Rocki

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

A male approximately 3.5 years old, large breed Rocky, a beautiful cross between a Bracco and a Shepherd, weighing around 35 kg, is going through a difficult time: his beloved owner passed away suddenly and he, from one day to the next, found himself without a reference point. Today he is looking for a new family that can offer him what he deserves: stability, affection and a life full of attention. Rocky is a sociable, affectionate and incredibly intelligent dog. He has a natural predisposition to learning: he understands quickly, respects spaces and does not dirty the house or destroy objects. He is an ideal companion for those who want a balanced and already educated dog. Rocky is the classic dog that knows how to adapt and loves to be part of family life.

About Rocki

What life with Rocki looks like

Rocki is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Municipale di Asti in Asti (Piemonte).

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Rocki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocki?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile Municipale di Asti handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocki if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile Municipale di Asti 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rocki 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 Rocki 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 Municipale di Asti early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocki 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.
