How do I contact the shelter about Dafnielle?

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 Dafnielle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dafnielle 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 Dafnielle 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 Dafnielle 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 Dafnielle 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.

Dafnielle

Unknown · Young · 2 years

Wonderful and adorable little dog, currently residing in a kennel, who longs so much to find her forever family! Dafnielle is a very sweet medium-sized mixed-breed dog, weighing around 20 kg, born in April 2024 and abandoned when she was just a few months old. She has an excellent temperament: she’s sociable, trusting, loves human contact, and happily listens to, follows, and relies on our guidance. She’s full of energy and curiosity, eager to learn new things. She gets along well with other dogs, both females and males. However, she doesn’t like cats. She’s affected by leishmaniasis but has been successfully treated and cured; today, the disease is under control and causes her no discomfort. She’ll simply need to be monitored over time. She’s currently at a private, affiliated kennel in the province of Rome, but we’re also willing to place her in the north, after completing the necessary pre-adoption checks. She’ll be spayed, vaccinated, and provided with a health record detailing her medical history—and of course, she’ll have a microchip. Adoption Department, ALFA OdV Association.

Cagnolotta meravigliosa ed adorabile reclusa in canile che desidera tanto trovare la sua famiglia per sempre! Dafnielle è una meticcetta dolcissima di taglia media, 20 kg circa, nata ad aprile 2024 ed abbandonata a pochi mesi di vita. Ha un ottimo carattere: è socievole, confidente, amante del contatto umano, che ascolta, segue e si affida con piacere alla nostra guida. Ha tanta voglia di fare, è curiosa e desiderosa di imparare cose nuove. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia femmine sia maschi. I gatti invece non le stanno simpatici. È affetta da leishmania ma è stata trattata e curata con successo e la malattia è ad oggi sotto controllo e non le provoca alcun disturbo. Andrà soltanto monitorata nel tempo. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzata, vaccinata, con cartella sanitaria comprendente la sua storia clinica e ovviamente con microchip.

About Dafnielle

What life with Dafnielle looks like

Dafnielle 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.
