Athena

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Data presunta di nascita: Gennaio 2019 Athena è una dolcissima cagnolina, riservata ma allo stesso tempo affettuosa. Athena negli ultimi anni ha sviluppato una epilessia idiopatica che le causa delle crisi epilettiche che, per fortuna, per il momento riusciamo a tenere sotto controllo con una terapia farmacologica. Chiaramente immaginerete anche voi che questa condizione non è già di per sé semplice, ma nel caso di Athena é aggravata ancor di più dalla vita in box, dove può essere seguita fino ad un certo orario, prima di rimanere sola per parecchie ore. Ci piacerebbe trovare qualcuno per Athena che possa curare le sue ferite emotive, prendendosi cura di lei e della sua condizione. Quei profondi occhi marroni vorremmo vederli ancora più belli e radiosi, fuori dal box. Venite a conoscerla… Athena é femmina, taglia media, sterilizzata. Si adotta previo colloquio e incontro di preaffido. Athena è di taglia medio-grande, sterilizzata. Adottabile in Sicilia, Centro e Nord Italia con controlli pre e post affido, firma modulo d’adozione. Adottabile anche a distanza.

About Athena

What life with Athena looks like

Athena is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Lega del Cane Palermo in Italy.

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 Athena, answered.

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