Abramo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 15 years

Nonnino – 15 years: I am Abramo. Maybe, if you see me from far away, I might look scary. But if you really know me, you’ll see that I’m one of the kindest and sweetest dogs at our shelter. A long time ago, they found me curled up between a parked car and the sidewalk. I was exhausted, scared of everything, and had marks from what I had lived through. I don’t know how to explain what happened to me, but I was missing an ear and had a deep wound. Over time, with care and love, I learned to trust again. Today, I’m a calm and peaceful Nonnino. I like being close to people, and I think my eyes still show so much sweetness and a desire for peace. I don’t need much: a safe place, care, attention, and someone who continues to love me. With a distance adoption, you can help me live this part of my life with peace and dignity.

Nonnino – 15 anni: Io sono Abramo. Forse, se mi vedi da lontano, posso fare paura. Ma chi mi conosce davvero sa che sono uno dei cani più buoni e dolci del rifugio. Anni fa mi hanno trovato rannicchiato tra un’auto parcheggiata e il marciapiede. Ero stremato, avevo paura di tutto e portavo addosso i segni di quello che avevo vissuto. Non so spiegare cosa mi sia successo, ma mi mancava un orecchio e avevo una profonda ferita. Con il tempo, le cure e l’amore, ho imparato di nuovo a fidarmi. Oggi sono un nonnino sereno e tranquillo. Mi piace stare vicino alle persone e credo che nei miei occhi si possa ancora vedere tanta dolcezza e tanta voglia di pace. Non ho bisogno di molto: un posto sicuro, cure, attenzioni e qualcuno che continui a volermi bene. Con un’adozione a distanza puoi aiutarmi a vivere questa parte della mia vita con serenità e dignità.

About Abramo

What life with Abramo looks like

Abramo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Hope Agrigento in Agrigento.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Abramo, answered.

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