How do I contact the shelter about Miah?

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

Can I adopt Miah 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 Miah 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 Miah 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 Miah 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.

Miah

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

A wonderful dog who will bring joy and vitality into the life of whoever decides to adopt her! Miah, a large mixed-breed dog, presumed birth January 2021, and confined in a dog shelter since summer 2023 due to abandonment. She is very lively, full of energy and with a strong desire to live! She loves human contact and seeks attention. With other dogs she is a bit intrusive, but only because of her exuberance. She knows how to walk on a leash, although she needs some exercise and to learn good manners. Miah is waiting for a family that knows how to understand her, love her and give her the freedom she has always dreamed of! She is located in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Rome but we also place her in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home check, sterilized, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

Una meravigliosa cagnolona che porterà gioia e vitalità nella vita di chi deciderà di adottarla! Miah, meticcia di taglia grande, nascita presunta gennaio 2021, e reclusa in canile dall’estate del 2023 in seguito ad abbandono. È super vivace, piena di energia e con tanta voglia di vivere! Ama il contatto umano e cerca attenzioni. Con gli altri cani è un po’ invadente, ma solo per via della sua esuberanza. Sa andare al guinzaglio anche se le occorre un po’ di esercizio e di imparare le buone maniere. Miah aspetta solo una famiglia che sappia capirla, amarla e darle la libertà che sogna da sempre! 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.

About Miah

What life with Miah looks like

Miah is a 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.
