SPRITZ

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Spritz, 5 years old, medium size, the marks on his body tell a story of a painful and suffering past that has left its mark. The watchword: LOVE!!!! Call! Spritz arrived at the shelter alone with the volunteers, skeletal and with a huge hole under his neck. After being operated on and surviving, he spent almost 3 years with the volunteers, now he is ready and waiting for someone to choose to love him as he is, with his neck stitched up, a scar near his eye, one ear up and one down but a heart full of hope and trust. He is waiting for someone to dedicate time to him, playing with his beloved ball, someone who will introduce him to the serenity of a home and a soft dog bed, Spritz is waiting for someone to call him 'FAMILY'. Sweet, playful, compatible with other dogs, sociable with anyone. ☑️ Will be adopted with a regular adoption form, vaccinated, microchipped, leishmania and ehrlichia test negative. ☑️ Availability for post-adoption visits ☑️ Sterilization required

SPRITZ, 5 ANNI, TAGLIA MEDIA,SU DI LUI SONO RIMASTI I SEGNI DI TUTTO IL MALE CHE HA PASSATO. DIAMO UNA VITA FELICE A QUESTO ANGELO. Spritz è arrivato da solo al rifugio dalle volontarie, scheletrico e con un buco enorme sotto al collo. Dopo essere stato operato ed essere sopravvissuto, ha passato quasi 3 anni con le volontarie, adesso è pronto e aspetta qualcuno che scelga di amarlo così com'è, col collo ricucito, una cicatrice vicino all'occhio, un orecchio sù e uno giù ma un cuore pieno di speranza e fiducia. Aspetta qualcuno che gli dedichi del tempo facendolo giocare con la sua amata palla, qualcuno che gli faccia conoscere la serenità di una casa e di una cuccia morbida, Spritz aspetta qualcuno da chiamare 'FAMIGLIA'. Dolcissimo, giocherellone, compatibile con altri cani, socievole con chiunque. ☑️ Verrà affidato con regolare modulo di adozione, vaccinato, microchippato, test leishmania ed ehrlichia negativi. ☑️ Disponibilità a visite post adozione ☑️ Sterilizzazione obbligatoria

About SPRITZ

What life with SPRITZ looks like

SPRITZ is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dimensione Animale Bergamo in Italy.

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 SPRITZ, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SPRITZ?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dimensione Animale Bergamo 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 — Dimensione Animale Bergamo 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 Dimensione Animale Bergamo 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.
