CARLETTA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · 8 years

The animal shelter was immediately cared for with great care and affection by Alfonso and the volunteers, to whom she quickly and deeply became attached, realizing that it was possible to live without fear. She has now been at the animal shelter for years and is a constant presence for everyone: she wanders everywhere and knows everything! She plays with her companions in the fenced fields, but also finds time to help in the office and take refreshing naps. At the Enpa Salerno animal shelter, with Alfonso, the volunteers and her four-legged friends, the sweet CARLETTA has found a home and a family all her own.

IT·Show original

Al rifugio è stata subito accudita con grande cura e affetto da Alfonso e dai volontari, ai quali si è affezionata velocemente e profondamente, comprendendo che era possibile vivere senza avere paura. Ormai vive al rifugio da anni, ed è un punto fermo per tutti: gironzola ovunque e tutto sa! Gioca con i compagni nei prati recintati, ma trova anche il tempo per dare una mano in segreteria e andare a schiacciare pisolini rigeneranti. Al rifugio di Enpa Salerno, con Alfonso, i volontari e i suoi amici a quattrozampe, la dolcissima Carletta ha trovato una casa e una famiglia tutta sua.

About CARLETTA

What life with CARLETTA looks like

CARLETTA is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA in Rome.

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 CARLETTA, answered.

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