How do I contact the shelter about Jovienne?

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

Can I adopt Jovienne 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 Jovienne 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 Jovienne 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 Jovienne 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.

Jovienne

Male · Young · 3 years

Young molosser that is deeply suffering from life in a dog shelter. The confinement weighs more each day, and she urgently needs a loving, present, and responsible family that can finally offer her the peace she deserves. Jovienne, a molosser breed, medium size, young, born around October 2023. She was abandoned in October 2025 and has been confined since then. Despite this, she has not lost trust in people: she is a small female dog extremely sociable, affectionate, and eager for contact. She loves interactions, especially physical ones, and allows herself to be touched and handled with great calmness, without showing any impatience. She knows how to walk on a leash, and although she currently lives in a single box (as unfortunately often happens with molosses in dog shelters), she has been tested with a male dog and compatibility was positive. She is not compatible with cats. She is 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. 328 003 45 08 You can also send an SMS or leave a message in the voicemail and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Giovane molossetta che sta soffrendo profondamente la vita in canile. La detenzione le pesa ogni giorno di più e ha urgente bisogno di una famiglia amorevole, presente e responsabile che possa offrirle finalmente la serenità che merita. Jovienne, derivato molosso, taglia media, giovane, nascita presunta ottobre 2023. È stata abbandonata nell’ottobre 2025 e da allora si trova reclusa. Nonostante questo, non ha perso la fiducia nelle persone: è una cagnolina estremamente socievole, affettuosa e desiderosa di contatto. Ama le interazioni, soprattutto quelle fisiche, e si lascia toccare e maneggiare con grande tranquillità, senza mostrare alcuna insofferenza. Sa camminare al guinzaglio e, pur vivendo attualmente in un box singolo (come purtroppo accade spesso ai molossi in canile), è stata testata con un cane maschio e la compatibilità è risultata positiva. Non è invece compatibile con i gatti. 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. 328 003 45 08 Potete anche inviare un sms o lasciare un messaggio in segreteria e verrete ricontattati al più presto.

About Jovienne

What life with Jovienne looks like

Jovienne 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.
