Adopt Thor

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Hi guys I'm Thor, a 5-year-old Red nose Pitbull. I entered the dog shelter for reasons I don't want to remember anymore. Now I live a present that forces me to many sacrifices but I look optimistically to the future because I deserve a new opportunity. I like company (more than you humans than my kind), I have no problems with handling, I just can't stand coats, I'm an energetic, sprinting and in dazzling shape. We could take long walks together: I love exploring, searching and flushing out lizards and mice (which I then let go..because I have a good heart 😅). I am also an "aquatic" dog: I love jumping into puddles (even better if they are nice muddy) and staying under the rainstorms singing to the rain. Yes because sometimes my being a Pit makes me get stuck in my fixations but here at the dog shelter they say I'm improving and now I have a good balance. To you human who wants to share your life with me I want to say that I will be a faithful and loyal companion, but you will have to give me the right attention. I'm looking for a responsible, sure, aware and complicit person. I will need your support if I get lost sometimes.

Ciao ragazzi sono Thor, Pitbull Red nose di 5 anni. Sono entrato in canile per motivi che non voglio più ricordare. Ora vivo un presente che mi obbliga a tante rinunce ma guardo ottimista al futuro perché merito una nuova occasione. Mi piace la compagnia (più di voi umani che dei miei simili), non ho problemi di manipolazione, i cappottini proprio non li sopporto, sono un tipo energico, sprintoso e in forma smagliante. Insieme potremmo fare lunghe passeggiate: amo perlustrare, esplorare, scovare e stanare lucertoline e topini (che poi lascio andare..perché ho un animo buono 😅). Sono anche un cane “acquatico”: adoro buttarmi nelle pozzanghere (meglio ancora se sono belle fangose) e rimanere sotto agli acquazzoni cantando alla pioggia. Si perché a volte il mio essere Pit mi fa rimanere impigliato nelle mie fissazioni ma qui in canile dicono che sto migliorando e ora ho un buin equilibrio. A te umano che vorrai condividere la tua vita con me voglio dire che sarò un compagno fedele e leale, ma tu dovrai darmi le giuste attenzioni. Ti cerco responsabile, sicuro, consapevole e complice. Avrò bisogno del tuo supporto se ogni tanto mi perdo. Insieme faremo molte cose 😊

About Thor

What life with Thor looks like

Thor is a adult dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

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 Thor, answered.

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