Asia

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Asia is one of those who never gets any calls, really never any calls for her. She has to be content with the attention of the volunteers who love her so much. But this love is not comparable to that of a real family. Asia is a real force of nature, a small female dog who is joyful and affectionate with humans, waiting for someone to notice how special she is. Born in January 2014, she is a friendly golden retriever mix, lived with the person who gave her to us. She has a good character even though she is a bit dominant with others. Asia is at the animal shelter in the province of Caserta and will be given to a home microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed after adoption placement to anyone who wants to love her and consider her a family member.

Asia è tra quelli di cui nessuno chiede mai,davvero mai una chiamata per lei. Si deve accontentare delle attenzioni dei volontari che la amano tanto. Ma questo amore non è paragonabile a quello di una vera famiglia. Asia è una vera forza della natura, una cagnolina gioiosa ed affettuosa con gli umani, aspetta che qualcuno si accorga di quanto sia speciale. Nata a gennaio 2014 È una simpatica simil labrador, viveva con un la persona che ce l'ha ceduta. Ha un buon carattere anche se un pò dominante con i simili. Asia si trova al rifugio in prov. di Caserta e verrà affidata microchippata, vaccinata e sterilizzata dopo pre affido a chiunque voglia amarla e considerarla membro di famiglia.

About Asia

What life with Asia looks like

Asia is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Asia, answered.

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