How do I contact the shelter about Dante?

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 Dante on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dante 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 Dante 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 Dante 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 Dante 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.

Dante

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Help us find a home for Dante! Dante is a wonderful dog who needs a loving family. He is both beautiful and kind: he has a cheerful and playful personality, despite his life so far spent in a kennel. Unfortunately, we were not able to find him a home when he was a puppy, and that saddens us greatly. But we know that Dante is a special dog and will find his forever family soon. Now Dante is no longer a puppy, but he is still a medium-sized dog. He is perfect for someone looking for a playmate and adventure companion, but also for someone who wants a loving and affectionate dog. Story Born in June 2022 Very beautiful, good, playful, let's find someone who loves him forever. Found on the street, fortunately noticed and brought to us, he is doing well and socializes with everyone, gets along with all and even with cats. Dante will be given with microchipped, vaccinated and spayed. Pre-adoption placement and post-adoption placement are mandatory and especially, the dog must live in a house, in a family.

About Dante

What life with Dante looks like

Dante 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.
