How do I contact the shelter about Agar?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canisciolti ODV handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Agar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Agar if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canisciolti ODV 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 Agar 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 Agar 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 Canisciolti ODV early rather than rehoming privately; they know Agar 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.

Agar

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

01/05/2023Ten puppies, approximately 60 days old, were found by a foreign tourist on June 30 in a peripheral area of Avola, Italy, near the roadside. The puppies were reported to the authorities and rescued, then taken to a shelter. Only Agar is still waiting for adoption. As adults, they will be medium to large in size, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. Agar is currently in a shelter in Avola, Sicily, and is available for adoption in the Piedmont, Lombardy, and neighboring regions (Central North Italy). He will be transported to his new home using a suitable and certified vehicle for transporting pets. For more information, contact us via WhatsApp at +39 3478059303 or by email. Please note that, like all puppies, they still need to learn to go to the bathroom outside and walk on a leash, and they will depend on you for the rest of their lives. For their well-being, no second thoughts or "tests" are allowed, so if you are not absolutely sure you can take care of them, do not contact us.Adoption conditions:Pre- and post-adoption knowledge questionnaireSignature of adoption forms

About Agar

What life with Agar looks like

Agar is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canisciolti ODV in Italy.

An young 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.
