How do I contact the shelter about Perlyn?

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

Can I adopt Perlyn 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 Perlyn 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 Perlyn 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 Perlyn 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.

Perlyn

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

The small female dog resilient who has never stopped hoping. Perlyn is a medium-sized mixed breed (about 15 kg), born in July 2021, and has been living in a dog shelter's kennel for too long: since the summer of 2022, her home has been made of bars. Yet, despite everything, Perlyn has kept something precious: trust and an extraordinary desire to live. She is a small female dog gentle and kind, lively and incredibly affectionate. She loves people, seeks spontaneous contact and interaction even with strangers, as if every meeting could be the right one. She knows how to walk on a leash. Perlyn gets along well with other dogs, both males and females, and is a balanced and sociable companion. She is one of those kind souls that don't ask much: just a presence, a caress, a chance. Perlyn shouldn't grow up behind bars. She deserves a home, a family that teaches her what it really means to feel safe and loved. She is ready. She is just waiting for someone to choose her. She is located in a private 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.

La cagnolina resiliente che non ha mai smesso di sperare. Perlyn è una meticcetta di taglia media (circa 15 kg), nata a luglio 2021, e da troppo tempo vive chiusa in un box di canile: dall’estate del 2022 la sua casa è fatta di sbarre. Eppure, nonostante tutto, Perlyn ha conservato qualcosa di prezioso: la fiducia e una straordinaria voglia di vivere. È una cagnolina docile e buona, vivace e incredibilmente affettuosa. Ama le persone, cerca spontaneamente il contatto e l’interazione anche con chi non conosce, come se ogni incontro potesse essere quello giusto. Sa camminare al guinzaglio. Perlyn va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia maschi che femmine, ed è una compagna equilibrata e socievole. È una di quelle anime gentili che non chiedono molto: solo una presenza, una carezza, una possibilità. Perlyn non dovrebbe crescere dietro le sbarre. Merita una casa, una famiglia che le insegni cosa significa davvero sentirsi al sicuro e amata. Lei è pronta. Aspetta solo che qualcuno la scelga. 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 Perlyn

What life with Perlyn looks like

Perlyn 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.
