How do I contact the shelter about Cesaria?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione ALFA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cesaria on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cesaria if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA 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 Cesaria 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 Cesaria 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 Associazione ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cesaria 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.

Cesaria

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Looking for infinite patience for a queen of "leave me alone"! Cesaria is a large Maremma crossbreed dog, born in March 2021 and entered in a dog shelter in May 2023. Due to lack of experience, she is worried by humans but does not show aggressive reactions and gets along with both other females and males. We could call her a "Miss Safety Distance". Do not expect intimacy from her, nor hope for affectionate interactions at the moment. Her typical day at the dog shelter is spent calmly by herself, perhaps in the company of the dog pack with whom she lives peacefully, but always maintaining her discreet independence. The leash? No thanks. It's just not her thing. Who are we looking for? A special adopter, someone who understands that love is also built by respecting distances. A person with lots of patience, a big heart, and no rush. Even better if you have a balanced dog who can act as a guide and help her discover that the world is not so scary after all. If you are ready to give time, tranquility, and a safe place to this reserved wonder, contact us. She will not run to meet you, but who knows: perhaps one day, her quiet approach will tell you how much your presence and respect mean to her. She is in a private accredited dog shelter in Basilicata and we rehome her in Lazio and North, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis, and obviously with a microchip.

Cercasi pazienza infinita per una regina del “lasciatemi in pace”! Cesaria è una meticcia di maremmano di taglia grande, nata nel marzo 2021 ed entrata in canile nel maggio 2023. Per mancanza di conoscenza è preoccupata dagli esseri umani ma non ha reazioni aggressive e va d’accordo sia con altre femmine sia con i maschi. Potremmo definirla una “Miss Distanza di Sicurezza”. Non occorre aspettarsi confidenze da lei, ne sperare per il momento in interazioni affettuose. La sua giornata tipo in canile è sdraiata tranquilla per conto suo, magari in compagnia del branco di cani con cui convive serenamente, ma sempre mantenendo la sua discreta indipendenza. Il guinzaglio? No, grazie. Non è proprio nelle sue corde. Chi stiamo cercando? Un adottante speciale, qualcuno che capisca che l’amore si costruisce anche rispettando le distanze. Una persona con tanta pazienza, un cuore grande e nessuna fretta. Meglio ancora se hai un cane equilibrato che possa farle da guida e aiutarla a scoprire che il mondo non è poi così spaventoso. Se sei pronto a donare tempo, tranquillità e un posto sicuro a questa meraviglia riservata, contattaci. Lei non ti correrà incontro, ma chissà: forse, un giorno, sarà proprio il suo silenzioso avvicinarsi a raccontarti quanto significano per lei la tua presenza e il tuo rispetto. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in Basilicata e la affidiamo sia nel Lazio sia al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Cesaria

What life with Cesaria looks like

Cesaria is a large adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An 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.
