THOR

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Character: Complex, needs to be gradually known through the educators and volunteers who are following him. THOR pays for the superficiality of people who are carried away by impulse (and sometimes by fashion) into the decision to take a dog. People without skills, time, desire, and energy to invest in their friend. THOR is just one among many, perhaps the most 'extreme' case that PAL has ever had. Dogs taken with great carelessness, because it was the thing to do today, and then abandoned in dog cages (increasingly full of mastiffs), once it becomes clear that our dog does not match the idea we had of him. Dogs 'ruined,' who will spend their lives paying for another person's whim. "Are we worthy of having a dog?" - this is the question each of us should ask ourselves before thinking of including another living being in our life.

Carattere: Complesso, va conosciuto gradualmente tramite gli educatori e i volontari che lo stanno seguendo — Thor paga la superficialità delle persone che si fanno trascinare dall’impulso (e a volte dalla moda) verso la decisione di prendere un cane.Persone senza competenze, tempo, desiderio ed energie da investire sul proprio amico. Thor è solo uno tra tanti, forse il caso più ‘estremo’ che la PAL abbia mai avuto. Cani presi con enorme leggerezza, perché oggi ci andava di farlo, e poi abbandonati in gabbie di canili (sempre più pieni di molossi), una volta che si realizza che il nostro cane non corrisponde all’idea di ciò che avevamo in mente di lui. Cani ‘rovinati’, che pagheranno a vita con l’ergastolo per un capriccio altrui. “Siamo degni di avere un cane?”: è questa la domanda che ognuno di noi dovrebbe farsi PRIMA di pensare di includere nella nostra vita un altro essere vivente.

About THOR

What life with THOR looks like

THOR is a medium-sized senior pit bull terrier dog waiting at Protezione Animali Legnano in Italy.

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 THOR, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about THOR?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Protezione Animali Legnano 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 — Protezione Animali Legnano 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 Protezione Animali Legnano 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.
