I was skin and bones when I was found, but now thanks to many good and abundant meals I'm back in perfect shape. I remember little of my first months of life, but I already know how to walk on a leash, I'm friendly with my dog friends and I love to run, jump and sniff. But above all I like people, I like watching the volunteers from my box and listening to them while they chat, imagining they're talking about me because they look at me and smile 😉. I would love to be part of a young, dynamic and loving family. Do you want to be my favorite humans?

About Valentino

What life with Valentino looks like

Valentino is a medium-sized puppy whippet dog waiting at Rifugio di Travacò in Italy.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 Valentino, answered.

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