Adopt SHREK

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 15 years

SHREK is a neutered male pitbull born in 2011. Despite his graying muzzle, SHREK is by no means resigned to the passing of time, showing a great deal of energy and enthusiasm when it's time to leave the kennel. We need to check his compatibility with other dogs, but we're looking for a breed enthusiast who will be won over by his friendly face! For more info: 3316486112, Via Germagnano 8.

Shrek è un pitbull castrato, nato nel 2011. Nonostante il muso ingrigito, Shrek non è per nulla rassegnato al passare degli anni, mostrandosi sempre molto attivo e scattante quando è il momento di uscire dal box. Da verificare la compatibilità con gli altri cani, cerchiamo un amante della razza che si lasci conquistare dal suo muso simpatico! Per info: , 3316486112, Via Germagnano 8.

About SHREK

What life with SHREK looks like

SHREK is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Sezione Torino in Torino.

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 SHREK, answered.

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