How do I contact the shelter about Cyra?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione ALFA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cyra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cyra if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA 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 Cyra 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 Cyra 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 Associazione ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cyra 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.

Cyra

Female · Young · 2 years

A sweet young soul who just needs to learn to trust! Cyra, a medium-sized mixed breed, about 25 kg, born around June 2024 and kept in a dog shelter since summer 2025 due to abandonment. At the first meeting she may seem cautious, watching, evaluating, studying intentions. She is not distrustful by choice, but because no one has yet taught her how beautiful it can be to truly trust. With a calm and respectful approach, Cyra softens. She approaches, allows herself to be petted and enjoys every attention with a mix of surprise and pleasure. She is a small female dog who needs small gestures and gentle timing, and she repays with a clear and grateful look. She gets along with other dogs, shares the box with a Molosser female. This young soul is waiting for someone who really sees her. Someone who knows how to look beyond her initial caution and discover the affectionate small female dog hidden beneath the surface. She is located in a private certified dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place her in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and of course with a microchip.

Una giovane anima dolce che aspetta solo di fidarsi! Cyra, meticcetta di taglia medio grande, 25 kg circa, nascita presunta giugno 2024 e reclusa in canile dall’estate 2025 in seguito ad abbandono. Al primo incontro può sembrare guardinga, ci osserva, valuta, studia le intenzioni. Non è diffidente per scelta, ma perché nessuno le ha ancora insegnato quanto possa essere bello fidarsi davvero. Con un approccio tranquillo e rispettoso, Cyra si scioglie. Si avvicina, si lascia accarezzare e si gode ogni attenzione con un misto di sorpresa e piacere. E’ una cagnolina che ha bisogno di piccoli gesti e tempi gentili, e che ripaga con uno sguardo limpido e riconoscente. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, condivide il box con una femmina molossetta. Questa giovane anima non aspetta altro che qualcuno che la guardi davvero. Qualcuno che sappia vedere oltre la sua prudenza iniziale e scoprire la cagnolina affettuosa che si nasconde sotto la superficie. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Cyra

What life with Cyra looks like

Cyra is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

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.
