How do I contact the shelter about Ernestino?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. L.I.D.A. Olbia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ernestino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ernestino if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — L.I.D.A. Olbia 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 Ernestino 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 Ernestino 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 L.I.D.A. Olbia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ernestino 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.

Ernestino

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

09.01.2016 - Ernestino, after the check-up visit, has returned home. What hard work but now he is happy and has become a little devil. Happy to be back with his mom. The bill still needs to be paid, we hope that other help will arrive. Thanks to those who have helped us and will help us again, Ernestino thanks you. 28.12.2015 - With great difficulties in the post-operative management but everything is proceeding well. We thank anyone who can help us cover the costs of this poor puppy's surgery, who risked dying due to total indifference. Never getting sick during the holidays, everyone was busy with Christmas and he almost died. On the day of the surgery we made many calls, even to the University of Sassari, no one was willing to operate on him. But we called him Ernestino.....

About Ernestino

What life with Ernestino looks like

Ernestino is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at L.I.D.A. Olbia in Olbia.

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.
