Roquefort

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

General Information: Microchipped and vaccinated, mixed-breed dog, a short-haired white crossbreed of herder guard dog. At the moment, he is not neutered, and this will be done before adoption placement. Personality: A docile dog, but sometimes anxious around certain people or situations. He is a dog that needs a good role model to whom he is very attached. He is getting used to wearing a harness, and for now, given his reservations, it’s better to use a breakaway one. Ideal Adoption: Best suited to people with some experience with dogs, especially those of herder guard breeds (of which he seems to have the distinct characteristics). He is a docile dog but is likely not accustomed to the life of a family/city dog… Better in calm, less chaotic family and living environments. Okay in the presence of well-behaved children. Possible with another dog, preferably a female, compatibility testing will be required to be conducted in the dog shelter with an operator present. Recommended home with a yard. Background:

Generalità: Microchippato e vaccinato, meticcio incrocio cane da pastore guardiano dal pelo corto bianco. Al momento non è sterilizzato, verrà fatto prima dell’affido. Carattere: Cane docile, ma a volte preoccupato da alcune persone o da alcune situazioni. E’ un cane che ha bisogno di una buona figura di riferimento alla quale si affida molto. Si sta abituando ad indossare la pettorina, per il momento visto le diffidenze è meglio usare quella antifuga. Adozione ideale: Meglio persone con un po’ di esperienza di cani, specialmente se di pastori guardiani (di cui sembrerebbe avere le spiccate caratteristiche). E’ un cane docile ma con tutta probabilità non abituato a fare la vita del cane di famiglia/città… Bene contesti familiari e abitativi tranquilli e poco caotici. Ok in presenza di ragazzini ben educati nei confronti degli animali. Possibile con un altro cane meglio se femmina, verrà richiesta la prova di compatibilità caratteriale da effettuarsi in canile in presenza di un operatore. Consigliata casa con giardino. Provenienza: Accalappiato

About Roquefort

What life with Roquefort looks like

Roquefort is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

An young 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 Roquefort, answered.

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