Tito

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Tito is a medium-sized puppy, born around October 2024. He arrived at the shelter battered and very frightened, but day by day, thanks to the love and patience of volunteers and staff, he has learned to trust humans again. Today, he calmly allows even our veterinarians to handle him—proof of how far he’s come. Tito is a young, cheerful, and energetic dog: he loves playing with his cage mates and is very sociable with female dogs. With people, he’s kind and affectionate; he walks beautifully on a leash and absolutely loves taking walks. He gets along well with female dogs. He hasn’t yet been tested with cats. Right now, Tito is waiting for just one thing: a family that will fall in love with him and finally give him a real life filled with love, a home, and walks together.

IT·Show original

Tito è un cagnolino di taglia media, nato indicativamente a ottobre 2024. È arrivato in rifugio malconcio e molto spaventato, ma giorno dopo giorno, grazie all’amore e alla pazienza di volontari e operatori, ha imparato a fidarsi di nuovo degli esseri umani. Oggi si lascia manipolare tranquillamente anche dalle nostre veterinarie, segno del grande percorso che ha fatto. È un cane giovane, allegro e pieno di energia: ama giocare con le sue compagne di box ed è molto socievole con le femmine. Con le persone è buono e affettuoso, è bravissimo al guinzaglio e adora le passeggiate. Compatibile con le femmine. Non ancora testato con i gatti. Ora Tito aspetta solo una cosa: una famiglia che si innamori di lui e gli regali finalmente una vita vera, fatta di amore, casa e passeggiate insieme.

About Tito

What life with Tito looks like

Tito is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio di Cavour in Italy.

An young 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 Tito, answered.

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