Adopt Curry

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Born from a stray dog saved by a volunteer, Curly soon learned the fragility of life and waited too long in an animal shelter for a home that never came. Young, sunny, and energetic, Curry is a two-year-old small dog, very friendly and confident in himself, ready to create an authentic bond, with the desire to feel part of a family. And you know the truth? It doesn't take much to choose him, because Curry is really a fantastic dog. Let's not leave him invisible: he deserves a happy life, away from the box. Curry is in the province of Milan, and will be placed after a pre-adoption meeting.

Nato da una randagina salvata da una volontaria, 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 ha conosciuto presto la fragilità della vita e ha atteso troppo tempo in rifugio una casa che non è mai arrivata. Giovane, solare ed energico, Curry è un cagnolino di due anni, molto simpatico e 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐨 𝐝𝐢 𝐬è, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨, con la voglia di sentirsi parte di una famiglia. E sai la verità? Non ci vuole molto per sceglierlo, perché Curry è davvero un cane fantastico. Non lasciamo che resti invisibile: 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐟𝐮𝐨𝐫𝐢 𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐱. Curry si trova in provincia di Milano, e sarà affidato previo iter conoscitivo di pre-affido.

About Curry

What life with Curry looks like

Curry is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at OIPA Italy in Rome.

An young 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 Curry, answered.

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