How do I contact the shelter about Elliot?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elliot on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elliot if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba 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 Elliot 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 Elliot 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 Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elliot and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt Elliot

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Elliot is a young large dog of one year, brother of Emily and part of the wonderful litter found together with their mother, a beautiful Abruzzese shepherd. Unlike his sister, Elliot stands out for his lively character and overwhelming energy. He is a strong and curious dog, always ready to take on challenges and explore the world around him. Elliot has a dynamic and enterprising personality, but he can also be affectionate and attached to the people who gain his trust. He needs space and a family that understands his need for activity and stimulation. He is the ideal companion for someone looking for a dog with energy and spirit, willing to offer love and commitment in return for loyal and joyful company. Raised with his mother and siblings, Elliot has learned the dynamics of the pack, developing excellent social skills. He is used to the presence of other dogs and enjoys interacting in a balanced way. However, his dream is to find a home where he can be the star of the family life, surrounded by affection and attention. We propose for Elliot an informed adoption or a distant adoption, to ensure him everything he needs while he waits for his ideal family. With your support, we can offer him care, food and everything necessary for a peaceful life. Elliot is ready to win your heart with his energy and his will to live. Do you want to be part of his story? Give a home and a second chance to a heart full of love that is waiting only for you!

About Elliot

What life with Elliot looks like

Elliot is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba in Alba Adriatica TE.

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.
