Adopt Spice

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Spic and Kora, two very friendly mastiffs. What a couple!!! Similar to boxers, about 5 years old, arrived at the animal shelter after the death of their elderly owner. As often happens, we did not find health records, so all necessary checks were done for them. They are healthy, vaccinated and treated for parasites. Kora is naturally spayed. We would like them to continue their life together, but given their size, we realize that it would already be a great gift to find a family for each of them separately. Are you looking for some laughs and want to come visit them? We await you at the animal shelter every afternoon from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Spic e Kora, due musoni simpaticissimi. Visto che coppia!!! Simil boxer di circa 5 anni, arrivati in rifugio dopo la morte del loro anziano proprietario. Come spesso capita, non abbiamo trovato libretti sanitari e quindi per loro sono stati fatti tutti i controlli necessari. Sono sani, vaccinati e trattati contro i parassiti. Kora naturalmente è anche sterilizzata. Ci piacerebbe potessero continuare la loro vita insieme ma, vista la taglia, ci rendiamo conto che sarebbe già un bel regalo trovare per loro famiglia anche separatamente. Avete voglia di farvi due risate e venirli a trovare? Vi aspettiamo in rifugio tutti i pomeriggi dalle 13.00 alle 16.00 Contatto 3476455649

About Spice

What life with Spice looks like

Spice is a adult 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 Spice, answered.

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