Sheila

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

General Information: Microchipped and vaccinated, mixed-breed dog with a white coat and orange spots, medium-small size. Personality: Small female dog, docile and sociable. At the dog shelter, she seems a bit anxious, but this is likely due to her not yet understanding where she is and why; she will gradually get used to the routine and will surely do better, although it would be great to find her a home as soon as possible. She is getting used to wearing the harness, she tugs occasionally on walks, but thanks to her small size, she is still manageable. Ideal adoption: Suitable for people with little or no previous experience with dogs. It will be important not to leave her alone for too long and to give her time to adapt to her new living environment. She is okay with well-behaved children. Adoption may be possible with another respectful and not overly assertive dog, but a behavioral compatibility test will be required to be conducted in the dog shelter with an operator present. Apartment or villa with a garden living with the family and ensuring the daily walks necessary for her psychological and physical well-being. Background:

IT·Show original

Generalità: Microchippata e vaccinata, meticcio incrocio jack russel dal pelo bianco con macchie arancio, taglia medio piccola. Carattere: Cagnolina docile e socievole. In canile sembra essere un po’ ansiosa, ma probabilmente è dovuto al fatto che non riesce ancora a capire dove si trova e perchè; pian piano si abituerà alla routine e sicuramente andrà meglio, anche se sarebbe ottimo trovarle casa il prima possibile. Si sta abituando ad indossare la pettorina, in passeggiata tira a tratti, ma grazie alla taglia contenuta è comunque ben gestibile. Adozione ideale: Bene l’affido anche per persone alla prima esperienza con i cani. Sarà importante non lasciarla da sola troppe ore, e darle tempo per abituarsi al nuovo contesto abitativo. Ok con bambini ben educati nei confronti degli animali. Possibile l’affido in presenza di un altro cane rispettoso e non troppo irruente nei suoi confronti, verrà comunque richiesta la prova di compatibilità caratteriale da effettuarsi in canile in presenza di un operatore. Appartamento o villetta con giardino vivendo in casa con la famiglia e garantendo le dovute passeggiate giornaliere necessarie per il suo benessere psicofisico. Provenienza: Accalappiata

About Sheila

What life with Sheila looks like

Sheila is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

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 Sheila, answered.

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