How do I contact the shelter about Edoarda?

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

Can I adopt Edoarda 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 Edoarda 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 Edoarda 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 Edoarda 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.

Edoarda

Unknown · Adult · 8 years

We’re looking for a patient and loving human companion for a gentle soul! Edoarda is a sweet, large-sized dog of Maremmano heritage, born in July 2018 and arriving at the shelter in August 2022. With people she doesn’t know, she’s a bit shy and cautious at first, but with the right approach, she’ll let you pet her without any difficulty. She simply needs someone who knows how to respect her pace and has the patience to win her trust. She gets along peacefully with other dogs, so having canine company won’t be a problem! Edoarda needs a patient person who’ll give her the time she needs to settle in and who’ll welcome her with warmth and understanding, offering her a quiet place where she can feel protected and safe. She’s currently at a private, affiliated shelter in Basilicata, and we’ll place her either in Lazio or in northern Italy—subject to the necessary pre-adoption checks. She’s vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course, microchipped. Adoption Department, ALFA Association OdV. SMS/WhatsApp: 3280034508; email: A volunteer from ALFA will contact you to provide all the information.

Cercasi umano paziente e amorevole per un’anima delicata! Edoarda è una dolcissima cagnolona derivato maremmano di taglia grande, nata nel luglio 2018 ed arrivata in canile nell’agosto 2022. Con chi non conosce è un po’ timida e sulla difensiva all’inizio, ma con il giusto approccio si lascia accarezzare senza difficoltà. Serve solo qualcuno che sappia rispettare i suoi tempi e che abbia la pazienza di conquistarla. Convive serenamente con gli altri cani quindi la compagnia a quattro zampe non è un problema! Edoarda ha bisogno di una persona paziente che le dia il tempo necessario per ambientarsi e che la accolga con calore e comprensione, offrendole un luogo tranquillo dove potersi sentire protetta e al sicuro. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in Basilicata e la affidiamo sia nel Lazio sia al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Edoarda

What life with Edoarda looks like

Edoarda is a large adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
