Guffrud

Unknown · Adult · 6 years

A molosso who would rather not spend the rest of his days in a dog shelter! Guffrud, pit bull mix, medium to large size, born around July 2020, and kept in a dog shelter since October 2021 due to abandonment. He is an energetic, friendly, lively dog who wants to do a lot and move around. He does not get along with other dogs or cats and spends his endless days in a single box. If you feel you can offer him a home and the peace he has never had, if you are experienced with molossos and love this breed, Guffrud is waiting for you. He is located in a private dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place him in the north, after the proper pre-adoption home check, vaccinated, neutered, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course with a microchip.

Un molosso che vorrebbe non trascorrere il resto dei suoi giorni in un box di canile! Guffrud, derivato pit bull, taglia medio grande, nascita presunta luglio 2020 e recluso in canile dall’ottobre 2021 in seguito ad abbandono. Lui è un cane esuberante, socievole, vivace, che desidera tanto fare, muoversi. Non va d’accordo con gli altri cani ne con i gatti e trascorre le sue interminabili giornate in un box singolo. Se senti di potergli offrire una casa e la serenità che non ha mai avuto, se sei esperto di molossi e ami questa razza Guffrud ti sta aspettando. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinato, sterilizzato, testato leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Guffrud

What life with Guffrud looks like

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

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Guffrud, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Guffrud?
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 Guffrud on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Guffrud 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 Guffrud 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 Guffrud 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 Guffrud 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.
