Winter

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Winter small dog, white and black, 1 year old, very shy. For this reason, despite his small size, he cannot win anyone's heart. For now, he does not accept being touched or leashed. However, he does not hide from our presence and accepts treats from our hands. For him, we are looking for patient people, not superficial, who have a garden (in safety) but keep him mainly indoors and gradually get him used to touch and the leash, creating a relationship of trust. The presence of another friendly dog with a confident character can be a great help for him.

IT·Show original

Winter cagnolino bianco e nero di 1 anno, timidissimo. Per questo nonostante la piccola taglia, non riesce a far breccia nel cuore di nessuno. Per ilmomento non accetta di essere toccato nè uinzagliato. Non si nasconde però alla nostra presenza e accetta i bocconcini dalle nostre mani. Per lui cerchiamo persone pazienti, non superficiali, che abbiano un giardino (in sicurezza) ma lo tengano principalmente in casa e lo abituino piano piano al tocco e al guinzaglio, creando un rapporto di fiducia. La presenza di un altro cane accogliente e dal carattere sicuro può essere per lui un grande aiuto.

About Winter

What life with Winter looks like

Winter is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

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 Winter, answered.

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