How do I contact the shelter about Fiamma?

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

Can I adopt Fiamma 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 Fiamma 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 Fiamma 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 Fiamma and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Adopt Fiamma

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Fiamma is the most lively and social of the three 4-year-old Abruzzese shepherd sisters, captured during the Giro d'Italia in Abruzzo. Unlike Tora and Regina, Fiamma has adapted better to life in the animal shelter, showing greater openness towards people. Her energy and curiosity are a source of vitality that lights up every day of the pack. Fiamma loves to explore and faces every new experience with enthusiasm. However, she too needs a thoughtful family that knows how to respect her dynamic nature and her background. An initial path with our educators will be essential to help her integrate into a family environment, where she will finally be able to express all her potential. Fiamma is also available for a distant adoption, which will allow her to live safely and peacefully in the animal shelter while waiting for her opportunity to find a home. Tora, Regina and Fiamma are not just three sisters, but three souls connected by a common story and a deep bond. Each of them is looking for a chance, whether through a distant adoption or, one day, in a family that knows how to welcome them with love and awareness. Supporting them means believing in a better future for those who have moved from freedom to the animal shelter, without ever losing their dignity. Give a home and a second chance to a heart full of love that is waiting only for you! Discover the stories of those who have directly experienced our commitment and our passion.

Fiamma è la più vivace e socievole delle tre sorelle pastore abruzzesi di 4 anni, catturate durante il Giro d’Italia in Abruzzo. A differenza di Tora e Regina, Fiamma ha saputo adattarsi meglio alla vita in rifugio, dimostrando una maggiore apertura verso le persone. La sua energia e curiosità sono una fonte di vitalità che illumina ogni giornata del branco. Fiamma ama esplorare e affronta ogni novità con entusiasmo. Tuttavia, anche lei ha bisogno di una famiglia consapevole che sappia rispettare la sua natura dinamica e la sua storia. Un percorso iniziale con i nostri educatori sarà fondamentale per aiutarla a inserirsi in un ambiente familiare, dove potrà finalmente esprimere tutto il suo potenziale. Fiamma è disponibile anche per un’adozione a distanza, che le permetta di vivere in sicurezza e serenità nel rifugio mentre attende la sua opportunità di trovare una casa. Tora, Regina e Fiamma non sono solo tre sorelle, ma tre anime legate da una storia comune e da un legame profondo. Ognuna di loro cerca una possibilità, sia attraverso un’adozione a distanza che, un giorno, in una famiglia che sappia accoglierle con amore e consapevolezza. Sostenerle significa credere in un futuro migliore per chi, dalla libertà, è passato al rifugio, senza mai perdere la propria dignità. Regala una casa e una seconda possibilità a un cuore pieno d’amore che aspetta solo te! Scopri le voci di chi ha sperimentato direttamente il nostro impegno e la nostra passione.

About Fiamma

What life with Fiamma looks like

Fiamma is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba in Alba Adriatica TE.

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.
