How do I contact the shelter about TILAN?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ENPA Sezione Torino handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TILAN on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt TILAN if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ENPA Sezione Torino 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 TILAN 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 TILAN 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 Sezione Torino early rather than rehoming privately; they know TILAN 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.

Adopt TILAN

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

TILAN is still waiting for his chance… He is a medium-sized mixed-breed dog born in 2014, rescued in Albania and arrived at our shelter in Turin in 2017. After many years in a dog shelter, he has become less gruff, and today Tilan is an elderly dog with a decisive character but more docile than in the early days, and he enjoys spending time with most of the volunteers. We are looking for a person or family who respects him and is willing to visit the shelter multiple times for support, so as to give him the time to get to know and trust new people. He is compatible with females, with whom he has always shared a box. He is not suitable for the presence of small children. We know unfortunately that black dogs, especially elderly ones, have more and more difficulty finding a home, but we ask you to open your hearts and help us find a home for Tilan, who has deserved it after almost a lifetime spent within our structure. Here at our shelter, Tilan has many friends who love him very much, and he is spoiled with all the attention possible, but a family is a whole different story ❤️ To meet Tilan and get more information:

TILAN sta ancora aspettando la sua occasione… É un meticcio di taglia media, nato nel 2014, recuperato in Albania e arrivato all’Enpa di Torino nel 2017. I tanti anni in canile lo hanno reso meno burbero e oggi Tilan é un cane anziano con un carattere deciso ma più docile rispetto ai primi tempi e passa volentieri il tempo con la maggior parte dei volontari. Ricerchiamo per lui una persona/famiglia che lo rispetti e che sia disposta a venire in canile più volte per un affiancamento, cosí da concedergli il tempo di conoscere e fidarsi delle nuove persone inserite. È compatibile con le femmine, con cui ha sempre condiviso il box. Non é adatto alla presenza di bambini piccoli. Sappiamo che purtroppo i cani neri, a maggior ragione anziani, hanno sempre più difficoltà a trovare un’adozione, ma vi chiediamo di aprire il vostro cuore aiutandoci a trovare una casa per Tilan, meritata dopo quasi una vita intera passata all’interno della nostra struttura. Qui Tilan ha tanti amici che gli vogliono molto bene, lo coccolano e gli danno tutte le attenzioni possibili, ma una famiglia é tutta un’altra storia ❤️ Per conoscere Tilan e avere maggiori informazioni: Via Germagnano, 8 Dal lunedì al sabato dalle 13 alle 16

About TILAN

What life with TILAN looks like

TILAN is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Sezione Torino in Torino.

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.
