Fata

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

A female approximately 8 years old, small Fata breed: the rebirth of a small soul that never stopped loving. When Fata arrived at the shelter, it was heartbreaking to see her. Her condition was pitiful: thin, fragile, marked by a past we can only imagine. But there was one thing that, despite everything, had not been taken away from her: her infinite sweetness. Every day that passes, Fata tells us more of her story. She is slowly regaining strength, her body is healing, and she has even started walking correctly. Who knows how long she had spent confined in a space too small for her, in cramped conditions that prevented her from moving normally. Her body still bears the signs of that imprisonment, but her spirit has not. That has remained wonderfully pure. Fata is a sweet little Setter, one of those creatures that seem born to love. It is almost impossible to photograph her: as soon as I approach with the camera, she immediately reaches me. She does not want to pose, she does not seek the lens. She seeks a caress. She seeks a hand to caress her, a face to fill with kisses, a contact that makes her feel finally safe. She is always clinging, as if she wants to recover all the affection she has missed. And how can we blame her? After what she has lived, Fata has chosen to trust the human being. She has chosen to love again. The most beautiful thing is to see her flourish day by day. Her gaze lights up, her coat becomes more beautiful, her body gains strength. She is becoming more and more beautiful every day, but her true beauty is the one she carries inside: the ability to give love without reservations, despite everything. For Fata we are looking for a family that wants to accompany her towards the future she deserves. A home made of respect, cuddles and serenity. A home where she will never have to know loneliness, fear or too tight spaces again. Fata has already begun her rebirth. Now all that is missing is someone who gives her the happy ending she has been waiting for forever. Because a dog like Fata does not just deserve to be saved. She deserves to be loved for her whole life.

Femmina di circa 8 anni, tg piccola Fata: la rinascita di una piccola anima che non ha mai smesso di amare Quando Fata è arrivata in canile, il cuore si stringeva solo a guardarla. Le sue condizioni erano a dir poco pietose: magra, fragile, segnata da un passato che possiamo soltanto immaginare. Ma c'era una cosa che, nonostante tutto, non le avevano portato via: la sua infinita dolcezza. Ogni giorno che passa, Fata ci racconta qualcosa in più della sua storia. Sta lentamente recuperando forza, il suo corpo si sta rimettendo in sesto e ha iniziato persino a camminare in posizione corretta. Chissà quanto tempo avrà trascorso confinata in uno spazio troppo piccolo per lei, in condizioni anguste che le hanno impedito persino di muoversi normalmente. Il suo corpo porta ancora i segni di quella prigionia, ma il suo spirito no. Quello è rimasto meravigliosamente puro. Fata è una setterina dolcissima, una di quelle creature che sembrano nate per amare. Fotografarla è quasi impossibile: appena mi avvicino con la macchina fotografica, lei mi raggiunge immediatamente. Non vuole mettersi in posa, non cerca l'obiettivo. Cerca una carezza. Cerca una mano che la accarezzi, un viso da riempire di bacini, un contatto che le faccia sentire di essere finalmente al sicuro. È sempre appiccicata, come se volesse recuperare tutto l'affetto che le è mancato. E come darle torto? Dopo quello che ha vissuto, Fata ha scelto comunque di fidarsi dell'essere umano. Ha scelto di amare ancora. La cosa più bella è vederla rifiorire giorno dopo giorno. Il suo sguardo si illumina, il suo mantello si fa più bello, il suo corpo acquista forza. Sta diventando ogni giorno più splendida, ma la sua vera bellezza è quella che porta dentro: la capacità di donare amore senza riserve, nonostante tutto. Per Fata cerchiamo una famiglia che voglia accompagnarla verso il futuro che merita. Una casa fatta di rispetto, coccole e serenità. Una casa dove non dovrà mai più conoscere solitudine, paura o spazi troppo stretti. Fata ha già iniziato la sua rinascita. Adesso manca solo qualcuno che le regali il lieto fine che aspetta da sempre. Perché una cagnolina così speciale non merita solo di essere salvata. Merita di essere amata per tutta la vita.

About Fata

What life with Fata looks like

Fata is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Municipale di Asti in Asti (Piemonte).

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 Fata, answered.

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