DOROTHY

Unknown · Young · 3 years

Sguardo birichino e bella come il sole, ecco Dorothy!Non è uscita dal Mago di Oz, ma come la piccola protagonista ha un carattere bello deciso: Dorothy sa quello che vuole e non ci metterà molto a farvelo capireHa parenti segugi e da loro ha preso il nasino e la voglia di esplorare, in passeggiata seguirà gli odori, le tracce e qualunque cosa si muova, voi sarete un accessorio in più, simpatici ma non così attraenti!Ma la nostra splendida ragazza sotto sotto è un fifona e toccherá a voi rincuorarla e tranquillizzarla quando un rumore sarà troppo forte o un cane le passerà troppo vicino; basterà distrarla con due coccole per proseguire il cammino come se nulla fosse.Non sappiamo molto del passato di Dorothy, ma possiamo dire che adora le persone e ama essere coccolata, sempre se non è troppo presa dall’esplorarel’ambiente intorno.Vivrebbe meglio come figlia unica, ma si può valutare l’inserimento con altri cani – meglio lasciar perdere i gatti.Dorothy è dolce, frizzante e una compagna di avventura assicurata, venite a conoscerla 2/3 anni, meticcia taglia medio piccola compatibile con altri cani previo inserimento, meglio no gatti Home Privacy Web Policy Privacy Mappa del sito

About DOROTHY

What life with DOROTHY looks like

DOROTHY is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Rifugio del Gazzo in Genova.

A 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 DOROTHY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about DOROTHY?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio del Gazzo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DOROTHY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt DOROTHY if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio del Gazzo 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is DOROTHY 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 DOROTHY 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 del Gazzo early rather than rehoming privately; they know DOROTHY 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.
