How do I contact the shelter about Tiriel?

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

Can I adopt Tiriel 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 Tiriel 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 Tiriel 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 Tiriel 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.

Tiriel

Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Tiriel is a very sweet male puppy, born in January 2026. His life began in the most unfair way: abandoned when he was only a few weeks old, together with his siblings, and locked up in a dog shelter. When he arrived, he was full of fleas and had a dermatitis... but today all of this is just a bad memory. Tiriel is finally healthy and ready to start his real life: the one in a family. Tiriel will probably be a medium-sized dog around 15/20 kg as an adult. He is a sociable, curious and enterprising puppy. He loves contact, seeks people and has a lot of desire to discover the world. He is not yet used to being held and sometimes freezes out of insecurity, but he is already learning to go on a leash: with a little patience and love he will make great strides. Tiriel is not looking for just any home... he is looking for someone who will teach him what it means to be loved forever. Open your heart and give him the chance to become your best friend! He is located in a private, affiliated dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, with a health record including deworming, vaccinations and of course with a microchip.

Tiriel è un dolcissimo cucciolo maschietto, nato a gennaio 2026. La sua vita è iniziata nel modo più ingiusto: abbandonato quando aveva solo poche settimane, insieme ai suoi fratellini, e rinchiuso in canile. Quando è arrivato era pieno di pulci e con una dermatite… ma oggi tutto questo è solo un brutto ricordo. Tiriel è finalmente in salute ed è pronto a iniziare la sua vera vita: quella in famiglia Tiriel sarà presumibilmente una taglia media intorno ai 15/20 kg da adulto. È un cucciolo socievole, curioso e intraprendente. Ama il contatto, cerca le persone e ha tanta voglia di scoprire il mondo. Non è ancora abituato a stare in braccio e a volte si blocca per insicurezza, ma sta già imparando ad andare al guinzaglio: con un po’ di pazienza e amore farà passi da gigante. Tiriel non cerca una casa qualunque… cerca qualcuno che gli insegni cosa significa essere amato per sempre. Apri il tuo cuore e dagli la possibilità di diventare il tuo migliore amico! Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, con cartella sanitaria comprendenti le sverminazioni, vaccinazioni e ovviamente con microchip.

About Tiriel

What life with Tiriel looks like

Tiriel is a extra-large puppy/kitten dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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.
