Adopt Spritz

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

We went to have a spritz with Spritz!! (And he told us a lot about himself 😎) He first told us that we must absolutely not look at his age on the registry, because he knows very well that he is still a great looking guy in the prime of his life! He is still enthusiastic about life, very curious, a joker and a playful one, lively and always ready to do things together. "Together"... He also said that he misses the company of humans a lot, that he has always loved living and being with many people, and that with them he has had many beautiful experiences. Indeed, he wanted to show us how well he is trained for the car, how he goes well on the leash, how nothing around him worries him, and how, obviously, he is well-behaved and polite even in places like the bar 😃. Finally, while we were taking him back to his box, he told us that he suffered a lot from being abandoned by his family and that he still doesn't quite understand why 😔. At the same time, he doesn't want to get down, no, Spritz is sure of himself, hopeful and stubborn, he said "I've seen so many leave the dog shelter since I've been here, why shouldn't they come and take me soon?!" And who can blame him... Right?!?

Siamo andati a berci uno spritz con Spritz!! (E ci ha raccontato un sacco di cose di sè 😎) Ci ha detto innanzitutto che non dobbiamo guardare assolutamente la sua etá all’anagrafe, perché lui sa benissimo di essere ancora un gran bel maschione nel fior fiore degli anni! È infatti ancora un entusiasta della vita, un gran curioso, un burlone e un giocherellone, vivace e sempre pronto a far cose insieme. Ecco, “insieme”… Dice anche che gli manca tanto la compagnia degli umani, che a lui è sempre piaciuto tanto vivere e stare insieme a tante persone, e che con loro ha fatto sempre tante belle esperienze. Ha voluto farci infatti vedere come è ben abituato alla macchina, come sa andare bene al guinzaglio, come niente in giro lo preoccupa, e come, ovviamente, è bravo ed educato anche in contesti come il bar 😃. Ci ha detto infine, mentre lo riportavamo in box, che in realtà ha sofferto molto l’abbandona da parte della sua famiglia di sempre e che non ne ha ancora ben capito il motivo 😔. Ma allo stesso tempo non vuole abbattersi, no, è uno sicuro di sè Spritz, speranzoso e testardo, ha detto “Ne ho già visti tanti uscire dal canile da quando sono qui, perché mai non dovrebbero venire presto a prendere anche me?!?”. E come dargli torto… Giusto?!?

About Spritz

What life with Spritz looks like

Spritz is a medium-sized senior pit bull terrier dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

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 Spritz, answered.

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