How do I contact the shelter about Damarius?

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

Can I adopt Damarius 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 Damarius 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 Damarius 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 Damarius 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.

Damarius

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

A nice and good little dog with a big desire to find a home! Damarius, a mixed-breed dog derived from Maremma, large size, about 35 kg, born in November 2022 and kept in a dog shelter since it was just a few weeks old due to abandonment. Despite these years spent in a cage, he is a very sociable and confident dog, approaches confidently and curiously even to people he doesn't know. He gets along well with other dogs, both males and females, and also with cats. He can walk on a leash fairly well, although he needs a bit of exercise. New things and sudden noises worry him a bit. He is located in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Rome but we also adopt him to the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, neutered, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip. 328 003 45 08 You can also send an SMS or leave a message in the answering service and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Un cagnolotto buono e bello con il grande desiderio di trovar casa! Damarius, meticcio derivato maremmano, taglia grande, 35 kg circa, nato nel novembre 2022 e recluso in canile da quando era solo un cucciolo di poche settimane in seguito ad abbandono. Nonostante questi anni trascorsi in gabbia, è un cane molto socievole e confidente, si avvicina fiducioso e curioso anche a chi non conosce. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia maschi sia femmine, ed anche con i gatti. Sa andare al guinzaglio abbastanza bene anche se gli occorre un po’ di esercizio. Le novità ed i rumori improvvisi lo preoccupano un po’. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzato, vaccinato, testato leishmania e ovviamente con microchip. 328 003 45 08 Potete anche inviare un sms o lasciare un messaggio in segreteria e verrete ricontattati al più presto.

About Damarius

What life with Damarius looks like

Damarius is a large adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
