Hadriano

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

A beautiful dog with a huge heart is waiting for his family Hadriano is not just a dog: it's a sweet gaze that enters your heart, a strong and reassuring presence, a kind soul that has been waiting too long to be chosen. It is a splendid Maremma crossbreed, large size, born in October 2019. Truly beautiful, the kind of beauty that strikes immediately: proud, elegant, with deep eyes that tell all of his sensitivity. Yet, despite this, he has been in a dog shelter since he was just a year old. Hadriano has a big heart. He gets along with all his companions, males and females, and is surprisingly respectful even with cats. The cats intrigue him, he would like to get to know them better, approach them with his gentle curiosity. With people he is even more special: sociable, affectionate, he seeks contact, petting, and connection. He is one of those dogs that are truly by your side, that bond deeply and make you feel chosen. He is good on a leash and loves to explore: new things fascinate him a lot. Sometimes he gets a bit excited by them, because the world outside the dog shelter box is still all to discover... but with a calm and patient guide he will blossom more and more every day. Hadriano doesn't ask much: he asks for a family that accompanies him, that believes in him, that gives him the time and love he deserves. In return he will offer loyalty, presence, sincere affection and that beauty that fills the house just by being there. Open your heart to this wonderful kind giant! Hadriano is waiting for you. He is in a private dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also adopt him to the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, vaccinated, neutered, tested for leishmaniasis and of course with a microchip.

Un cane bellissimo con un cuore immenso aspetta la sua famiglia Hadriano non è solo un cane: è uno sguardo dolce che ti entra dentro, è una presenza forte e rassicurante, è un’anima buona che aspetta da troppo tempo di essere scelta. È uno splendido incrocio maremmano, taglia grande, nato nell’ottobre 2019. Bello davvero, di quella bellezza che colpisce subito: fiero, elegante, con occhi profondi che raccontano tutta la sua sensibilità. Eppure, nonostante questo, vive in canile da quando aveva appena un anno. Hadriano ha un cuore grande. Va d’accordo con tutti i suoi simili, maschi e femmine, ed è sorprendentemente rispettoso anche con i gatti. I mici lo incuriosiscono, vorrebbe conoscerli meglio, avvicinarsi con quella sua dolce curiosità. Con le persone è ancora più speciale: socievole, affettuoso, cerca il contatto, le carezze, la relazione. È uno di quei cani che ti stanno accanto davvero, che si legano profondamente e che ti fanno sentire scelto. È bravo al guinzaglio e ama esplorare: le novità lo affascinano tanto. A volte si emoziona un po’ per queste, perché il mondo fuori dal box del canile per lui è ancora tutto da scoprire… ma con una guida serena e paziente saprà fiorire ogni giorno di più. Hadriano non chiede tanto: chiede una famiglia che lo accompagni, che creda in lui, che gli dia il tempo e l’amore che merita. In cambio offrirà fedeltà, presenza, affetto sincero e quella bellezza che riempie la casa solo con il suo esserci. Apri il tuo cuore a questo meraviglioso gigante buono! Hadriano 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 Hadriano

What life with Hadriano looks like

Hadriano is a extra-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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hadriano, answered.

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