How do I contact the shelter about &#x1f415?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Adottami col Cuore handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw &#x1f415 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt &#x1f415 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Adottami col Cuore 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 &#x1f415 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 &#x1f415 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 Adottami col Cuore early rather than rehoming privately; they know &#x1f415 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

&#x1f415

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

NOEMI, a 2 and a half year old German Shepherd, definitely much smaller than a German Shepherd! She was a puppy when we came across her. A disabled German Shepherd puppy, born in June 2022, abandoned among the trash in Puglia, thrown away like an old shoe because of her disability... Who had the courage to commit such a cruel act? Probably this puppy of breed, if she had been healthy, would have been used to make money... Instead, Noemi had a disability, therefore she was not useful for vile purposes and so someone thought it was good to 'throw her away', to get rid of her. However, some kind-hearted people found her and saved her, and ADOTTAMI COL CUORE ODV took her in immediately, transferring her to a boarding in Lombardy where she underwent various checks and meanwhile grew up beautiful and strong. Recently she had surgery on her hips that allowed her to move in ways that were previously impossible and have a more natural gait without pain. The little one walks as if she had crutches instead of legs, has major problems with Noemi is a lovely, lively, playful and calm dog, very sociable with humans and is finally ready to enter a family. She does not like the leash, therefore she is adoptable in a setting with lots of outdoor space where she can run freely! She loves her own kind but unfortunately does not like cats. She is located in the province of Mantova and - by appointment - it is possible to meet her. It is required maximum seriousness, conscious adoption, no time-wasters, call only if really interested.

NOEMI, pastore tedesco di poco 2 anni e mezzo, decisamente più’ piccola di un pastore tedesco! Era una cucciolina quando ci imbattemmo in lei. Cucciolo di pastore tedesco disabile, nata a giugno 2022, abbandonata tra i rifiuti in Puglia, gettata come una scarpa vecchia, per la sua disabilità… Chi ebbe il coraggio di compiere questo atto così spietato? Probabilmente questa cucciola di razza, se fosse stata sana, sarebbe servita per far soldi… E invece Noemi aveva una disabilità, perciò era inutilizzabile per biechi fini e per questo qualcuno ha pensato bene di ‘gettarla via’, di disfarsene. Qualche persona di buon cuore però l’ha trovata e l’ha salvata e ADOTTAMI COL CUORE ODV se l’è presa in carico sin da subito, trasferendola in una pensione in Lombardia dove è stata sottoposta ai vari controlli e nel frattempo è cresciuta bella e forte. Recentemente ha subito l’intervento alle anche che le hanno permesso di fare movimenti che prima le erano impediti e avere un’andatura più naturale e senza dolore. La piccola cammina come se avesse delle stampelle al posto delle zampe, ha grossi problemi con Noemi è una cagnolona bella, vivace, giocherellona e serena, molto socievole con gli umani ed è finalmente pronta ad entrare in una famiglia. Non ama il guinzaglio, pertanto è adottabile in un contesto con molto spazio all’aperto dove possa scorazzare a volontà! Adora i suoi simili ma purtroppo non ama i gatti. Si trova in provincia di Mantova e – su appuntamento – è possibile andare a conoscerla. Si richiede la massima serietà, adozione consapevole, no perditempo, chiamare solo se davvero interessati.

About &#x1f415

What life with &#x1f415 looks like

&#x1f415 is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Adottami col Cuore in Andria (BAT).

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.
