TOM

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Tom is a Segugio mix, 8 years old, abandoned in Calizzano. He has been staying at the ENPA shelter in Cadibona for several years but, despite numerous appeals to find him an adoptive home, none of the many visitors has chosen him yet. He is healthy and lively and friendly with everyone, people and animals alike. He is suitable for any family, ideally one with a garden where he can burn off his energy. Anyone interested in information or visits is kindly asked to contact Silvia at ENPA,

About TOM

What life with TOM looks like

TOM is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Savona in Savona.

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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting TOM, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TOM?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. ENPA Savona handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TOM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TOM if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask ENPA Savona whether they will for TOM, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is TOM already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for TOM. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by ENPA Savona, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if TOM isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask ENPA Savona about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know TOM 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.
