Ares

Labrador Retriever ยท Male ยท Young ยท 2 years

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿพ Let me introduce myself: my name is Ares, I am an adorable Labrador mix puppy, born in April 2026. My life began in a field, where I was found together with my two moms, my dad and my eleven siblings. We were living in difficult conditions, in a place full of ticks and fleas, and we urgently needed help. Fortunately, I am now safe and finally learning the most beautiful thing of all: trusting humans. I am very brave and lively, and I absolutely love to play. Now I only wish to continue this journey alongside a patient and loving family โ€“ a family that gives me the time I need and helps me discover how wonderful it feels to finally be loved and safe. I am currently in Italy, but I can travel anywhere in Europe and the United Kingdom within two to three weeks for a good adoption. If you would like to give me a chance, Iโ€™m here waiting for you. ๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ‘‰ I am vaccinated and tested negative for Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Dirofilaria, Brucellosis and Leishmania. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Adoption only with a protection contract, adoption fee and home check (RBU included). ๐Ÿ“ Foster/adoption form: ๐Ÿ“ž ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Chiara (WhatsApp) โ€“ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Chiara (WhatsApp only) โ€“ ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

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" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นAdopting 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 Ares, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ares?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Furry Rescue Italy handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ares on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ares if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Furry Rescue Italy 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ares 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ares isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Furry Rescue Italy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ares 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
