Arya

Female · Young · 1 year

Hello, I'm Arya. I'm young, energetic, full of life and, let's face it, a bit controlling and self-centered. I like to know where you are, what you're doing and, if possible, why you're doing it. I'm also stubborn. Very stubborn. Determined. A lot. And when I set my mind on something... good luck. I'm not the dog you can just bring home, shower with affection and think the problem is solved. I need my person, a guide, a safe base. Because I have a lot of energy and I need someone who knows how to channel it. I'll be your four-legged personal trainer: I'll make you walk, run, think, learn and probably question some of your choices.

Ciao, io sono Arya. Sono giovane, esuberante, piena di energie e, diciamocelo, un filo controllora ed egocentrica. Mi piace sapere dove sei, cosa fai e, possibilmente, perché lo fai. Sono anche cocciuta. Molto. Determinata. Parecchio. E quando mi metto una cosa in testa… buona fortuna. Non sono il cane che puoi semplicemente portare a casa, riempire di coccole e pensare che sia tutto risolto. Io ho bisogno della mia persona, di una guida, di una base sicura. Perché io ho tanta energia e ho bisogno di qualcuno che sappia incanalarla. Sarò la tua personal trainer a quattro zampe: ti farò camminare, correre, pensare, imparare e probabilmente mettere in discussione qualche tua scelta.

About Arya

What life with Arya looks like

Arya is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Gli Amici del Randagio in Mariano Comense (Como).

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arya?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Gli Amici del Randagio handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arya if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gli Amici del Randagio 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 Arya 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 Arya 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 Gli Amici del Randagio early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arya 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.
