How do I adopt an animal from ENPA Pistoia?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact ENPA Pistoia directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — ENPA Pistoia handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.
Can I adopt from ENPA Pistoia if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. ENPA Pistoia typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is ENPA Pistoia a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
ENPA Pistoia is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at ENPA Pistoia?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by ENPA Pistoia directly. Typical fees in Italy cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact ENPA Pistoia via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
