OFELIA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Lady of a certain age (8 years), composed, refined, and sensitive. This lady is a bit diffident, but absolutely not dangerous, just she keeps to her own because before opening up she carefully observes and evaluates people. She is clean, very white, and very elegant. Ofelia was in love, but her fiancé found a home. She doesn't settle for anyone; she wants her prince charming and her "happily ever after," so why not give it to her? Medium build and really cute Do you want to give her a real life, with a capital V? Do you want to bring her into a family? She is very tender and needs a home with people who will pamper and respect her. For her, a quiet area with little noise and traffic is preferable. The ideal adoption is in a quiet family with a house and garden in a quiet area, and maybe with another small dog to play with her. Take her out of the dog shelter so she can live the rest of her life in a family, not in a cage of iron and concrete. She is vaccinated, sterilized, tested for leishmaniasis and ehrlichia, and microchipped. She is located in Milan: come and meet her! For info or more photos and videos:

About OFELIA

What life with OFELIA looks like

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

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting OFELIA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about OFELIA?: 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 OFELIA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt OFELIA 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is OFELIA 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 OFELIA 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 OFELIA 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.
