Adotta Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Rocky is a beautiful large mixed breed dog, born in November 2024, neutered and with a very good and balanced temperament. He loves human contact, seeks the company of people and adores walks, even in urban environments. He is compatible with females. His ideal family must be very present, not first-time experience and aware of his size. For Rocky it is very important to stay by your side and share your time. He suffers from abandonment and for this reason the first few days...

About Adotta Rocky

What life with Adotta Rocky looks like

Adotta Rocky is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) in Italy.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Adotta Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Adotta Rocky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Adotta Rocky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Adotta Rocky if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) 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 Adotta Rocky 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 Adotta Rocky 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 Rifugio il Bau (Bastardini) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Adotta Rocky 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.
