DELIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Delia is a small dog who arrived at the shelter about two weeks ago. She was abandoned behind the gate of a second home in a residential area of Avola. She is very friendly and in excellent health, indicating she has likely been part of a family. She has been dewormed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Based on her current weight, we estimate she will be a small adult. She is available for adoption in the local area and in central and northern Italy, following the usual pre- and post-adoption process: pre- and post-adoption interviews, adoption forms. For any information, please send a WhatsApp message to 3478059303 or email. Please note that a puppy will depend on you for the rest of its life, so no second thoughts or "tests" are allowed. If you are not absolutely sure you can take care of her, please do not contact us. Spay/neuter is mandatory and free if adopted locally. To apply for adoption, please fill out the questionnaire.

About DELIA

What life with DELIA looks like

DELIA is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Canisciolti ODV in Italy.

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 DELIA, answered.

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