Adopt Dark

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Dark Male 6 Years Medium Size Very Sweet and Shy And think that he came as a puppy, he was a few months old and there were 2 lovely little fluffs together with his sister Giusy. Dark is ideal for families or young couples, he has never discovered the outside world, has never walked on a harness leash, has never seen the sea, the mountain, has never lived in a house... just like his sister Giusy He needs to discover the world, and deserves a family of his own, a nice little house, lots of love and affection, and good meals... He has a very sweet nature, is very gentle, affectionate with people he knows, very shy with people he doesn't know.

Dark Maschio 6 Anni Taglia Media Dolcissimo e Timido E pensare che è arrivato cucciolo, aveva pochi mesi ed erano 2 batuffolini bellissimi assieme alla sorellina Giusy. Dark è ideale per famiglie o coppie giovani, non ha mai scoperto il mondo esterno, non ha mai passeggiato con pettorina al guinzaglio, non ha mai visto il mare, la montagna, non ha mai vissuto in casa…così come la sua sorellina Giusy Deve scoprire il mondo, e si merita una famiglia tutta sua, una bella casetta, tanto amore e affetto, e dei buoni pasti… Ha un carattere molto dolce, è molto tenero, affettuoso con chi conosce, timidissimo con chi non conosce.

About Dark

What life with Dark looks like

Dark is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Nati Liberi Versilia in Versilia (Lucca).

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 Dark, answered.

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