Atena

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Female 1 Year Large Size Very Sweet and Affectionate Atena is a bundle of sympathy, sweetness and affection. She is only one year old but therefore needs to learn everything about life outside an animal shelter. We are looking for a young family or couple who has time and means to be her mom and dad for the rest of her life. She is very likable, initially shy but then she seeks out cuddles!

IT·Show original

Atena Femmina 1 Anno Taglia Grande Dolcissima e Pacioccosa Atena è un boom di simpatia, dolcezza e affettuosità, ha solo un anno ma deve quindi imparare tutto, cosa c’è al di fuori di un rifugio. Cerchiamo per lei una famiglia/coppia giovane che abbia tempo e modo di farle da mamma e papà per il resto della sua vita. E’ simpaticcissima, inizialmente timidina ma poi ti cerca per le coccole!

About Atena

What life with Atena looks like

Atena is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nati Liberi Versilia in Versilia (Lucca).

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Atena, answered.

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