IT·Show original

Non era bravo nella caccia e per questo è stato buttato via come un rifiuto. Le sue condizioni di salute erano critiche, ferito e scheletrico, ma ci siamo presi cura di lui e l'abbiamo rimesso in sesto. Ora ha bisogno di cibo specifico e integratori.

About Dumbo

What life with Dumbo looks like

Dumbo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Lega del Cane in Rome.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dumbo, answered.

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