Adopt Vito

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Vito is ready to start looking for his forever family! He is a 3-5 year old Pocket Am Bully who has come such a long way. In January, he was emaciated, weakened, and overwhelmed in the pound but with some great vet care and lots of TLC from his fosterers, just a couple of months later he a true force of Nature 😝 His body condition has improved significantly, his coat is healthy, his skin is clear, and he is happy and silly and lovely. Vito has absolutely zero sense of personal space. If you have a lap, he is on it. Snuggle-bug just doesn't cover it. He is very sweet and is very tolerant of physical contact and handling. He can spend some time alone, is clean in his foster-home and sleeps all night in the kitchen in his open crate. He would be great in an adult home, or with grown-up, sturdy family members, where a person works from home or part-time. He is great company and lots of fun. A mature area, with a secure garden will suit him best so that he doesn't have to be brought out initially. We are continuing to work to help improve his environmental comfort while out and about, and are making great strides. Vito will need a home where he can be brought by car to nearby parkland for exploration and adventure. He travels well in the car, in the back seat with a seat belt. He won't be going to a home with feline housemates and although he would ideally be an only-dog, a home with a dog will be considered and we will help with integration. This guy is a dream to live with, once you're not too sensitive about body-space, and he will entertain you with his silliness and charm you with his affection. A sweet little man and friend to all he has met. Unfortunately for Vito and his kin, Am Bullies, are in need of new homes up and down the country. Each one is in need and urgently, and of course, we are happy when any one of them finds their humans. Vito is fully vaccinated, microchipped (972274200044826) and will be neutered before rehoming. If you think you can offer Vito the loving home he deserves please go to and fill out adoption form. Dept of Ag. Registration No: JPT20000

About Vito

What life with Vito looks like

Vito is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at A Dog in Glenmore.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Vito, answered.

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