How do I contact the shelter about Gualdino?

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

Can I adopt Gualdino 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 Gualdino 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 Gualdino 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 Gualdino 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.

Gualdino

Unknown · Young · 2 years

Piccoletto and in need of the safety and comfort of a home! Gualdino is a small dog of small stature, similar to a Jack Russell, born presumably in March 2024. Today, he is found in a dog shelter after being abandoned. After the experience of being abandoned, he was initially wary and concerned about people. Now, with time, he has begun to relax and today seeks contact and interactions, though he does not appreciate overly invasive handling. He needs someone who knows how to listen to him and respect his pace. However, in the dog shelter, Gualdino still cannot truly be at peace: the lack of a routine, reference points, and his own family causes him particular suffering. For him, we are looking for a quiet home and a presence that can help him feel finally safe. Gualdino gets along well with other dogs and knows how to go on a leash. He is located in a private, conventionally accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we can also place him in the north after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, sterilization, vaccination, leishmaniasis testing, and of course with a microchip.

Piccoletto e bisognoso della sicurezza e conforto di una casa! Gualdino è un cagnolino di taglia piccola, simil Jack Russell, nato presumibilmente a marzo 2024. Oggi si trova in canile dopo essere stato abbandonato. Dopo l’esperienza dell’abbandono era diffidente e preoccupato dalle persone adesso con il tempo ha iniziato a rilassarsi e oggi cerca il contatto e le interazioni, anche se non ama le manipolazioni troppo invadenti. Ha bisogno di qualcuno che sappia ascoltarlo e rispettare i suoi tempi. In canile però Gualdino non riesce ancora a stare davvero sereno: la mancanza di una routine, di punti di riferimento e di una famiglia tutta sua lo fa soffrire particolarmente. Per lui cerchiamo una casa tranquilla e una presenza capace di aiutarlo a sentirsi finalmente al sicuro. Gualdino va d’accordo con gli altri cani e sa andare al guinzaglio. 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.

About Gualdino

What life with Gualdino looks like

Gualdino is a small 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.
