How do I contact the shelter about Ghazala?

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

Can I adopt Ghazala 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 Ghazala 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 Ghazala 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 Ghazala 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.

Ghazala

Unknown · Young · 2 years

A very sweet and beautiful duckling who wants to leave the shelter box as soon as possible! Ghazala, a border collie, medium size, about 20 kg, born around February 2024 and entered the dog shelter after being abandoned at a few weeks old. She is a small female dog, kind and sociable, slightly shy at first but once she realizes she can trust, she becomes curious and eager for contact. She is very gentle in interactions, showing that she likes people, she just needs to learn how to approach them as she was abandoned when she was just a puppy and has not received any training. She gets along with other dogs, both males and females. We are looking for someone who is not a first-time owner, who has the skills, pleasure and willingness to welcome her into their family with love and patience. The presence of a well-socialized dog could be very helpful. She is located in a private accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place her in the North, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, spayed, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip. You can also send an SMS or leave a message in the voicemail and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Una canetta dolcissima e bellissima che desidera uscire al più presto dal box del canile! Ghazala, derivato border collie, taglia media, 20 kg circa, nascita presunta febbraio 2024 ed entrata in canile in seguito ad abbandono a poche settimane di vita. È una cagnolina buona e socievole, solo leggermente timida all’inizio ma una volta compreso che si può fidare si mostra curiosa e desiderosa di contatto. È molto delicata nelle interazioni facendo capire che le persone le piacciono, deve solo capire come fare ad approcciarsi essendo stata abbandonata quando era solo un cucciolo e non avendo ricevuto alcun insegnamento. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia maschi sia femmine. Cerchiamo per lei una persona che non sia alla sua prima esperienza, che abbia la competenza, il piacere e la volontà di accoglierla nella sua famiglia con amore e pazienza. La presenza di un cane ben socializzato potrebbe essere di grande aiuto. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzata, vaccinata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip. Potete anche inviare un sms o lasciare un messaggio in segreteria e verrete ricontattati al più presto.

About Ghazala

What life with Ghazala looks like

Ghazala 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.
