How do I contact the shelter about Menodoro?

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

Can I adopt Menodoro 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 Menodoro 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 Menodoro 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 Menodoro 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.

Menodoro

Unknown · Young · 3 years

A wonderful large dog who is waiting for you at the dog shelter! Menodoro, a Maremmano mix, large size, 36 kg, presumed birth December 2023 and abandoned and entered the dog shelter two days after Christmas 2024. He is a friendly dog with people, proud and independent. He appreciates human company, but does not like to be overly manipulated or invaded. A respectful and balanced approach is the right key to win him over. He has not been tested with other dogs yet, but we think he does not have problems with dogs of the opposite sex. Good with cats. Knows how to walk on a leash. If you want to know more about him, contact us! He is in a private accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

Un meraviglioso cagnolone che ti sta aspettando in canile! Menodoro, derivato maremmano, taglia grande, 36 kg, nascita presunta dicembre 2023 ed abbandonato ed entrato in canile a due giorni dal Natale 2024. Lui è un cane socievole con le persone, fiero e indipendente. Apprezza la compagnia umana, ma non gradisce essere troppo manipolato con insistenza o invadenza. Un approccio rispettoso ed equilibrato è la chiave giusta per conquistarlo. Non è stato ancora testato con altri cani ma pensiamo che non abbia problemi con cani dell’altro sesso. Buono con i gatti. Sa andare al guinzaglio. Se desideri saperne di più su di lui contattaci! 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 Menodoro

What life with Menodoro looks like

Menodoro is a large 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. 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.
