How do I contact the shelter about Dianella?

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

Can I adopt Dianella 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 Dianella 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 Dianella 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 Dianella 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.

Dianella

Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Sweet big doggy waiting for a home! Dianella is a medium-sized mixed-breed dog, born around June 2020. Initially a bit shy, she quickly reveals herself to be affectionate and curious, winning everyone over with her little paw that she gently extends and her sweet kisses. She gets along well with other dogs, both females and males. Dianella is ready to become your inseparable companion and share every moment of your day with you. She’s looking for a patient and loving family who will give her time to settle in and welcome her with warmth and understanding, offering her a place where she can feel safe and protected. If you’re searching for a loyal and joyful friend, Dianella is the perfect companion. She’s currently at a private, affiliated kennel in Basilicata, and we’ll place her either in Lazio or in northern Italy, following the necessary pre-adoption checks. She’s vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course microchipped.

About Dianella

What life with Dianella looks like

Dianella is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

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.
