Azzurra

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Azzurra is wonderful, we don't understand why she isn't noticed. Always happy to see you, she likes to be hugged and cuddled because she loves human contact. A small female dog of immense sweetness who deserves to experience real life outside the box. STORY Born on 31/3/2021 Sweet Azzurra, recovered together with her siblings and her mother when she was only 3 months old in a deteriorated area of Naples, survived then the gastro and now she is here in all her splendor. Azzurra is a medium small size, about 20 kg. She is perfectly socialized with other dogs, both males and females, with people she was a bit shy at first, now less so. She is adopted in the area, goes for walks even if sometimes she is a bit timid, she is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped, she is adopted after pre-adoption home checks. NO to life only in the garden, Azzura must be part of the family.

Azzurra è splendida, non capiamo come mai non venga notata. Sempre felice di vederti, le piace essere abbracciata e coccolata perché ama molto il contatto umano. Una cagnolina di una smisurata dolcezza che merita di assaporare la vita vera fuori dal box. STORIA Nata il 31/3/2021 Dolce Azzurra, recuperata insieme ai suoi fratelli e alla sua mamma quando aveva solo 3 mesi in una zona degradata di Napoli, sopravvissuta poi alla gastro ed ora eccola qui in tutto il suo splendore. Azzurra è una taglia medio contenuta, circa 20 kg. È perfettamente socializzata con gli altri cani, sia maschi che femmine, con le persone inizialmente era un pò timida, ora di meno. Si affida in zona, va a passeggio anche se a volte è un pò timorosa, è vaccinata, sterilizzata e chippata, si affida dopo controlli preaffido. NO alla vita solo in giardino, Azzura deve far parte della famiglia.

About Azzurra

What life with Azzurra looks like

Azzurra is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco 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 Azzurra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Azzurra?
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 Azzurra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Azzurra 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 Azzurra 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 Azzurra 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 Azzurra 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.
