Filippa

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 18 years

Filippa arrived skin and bones, scared and without a microchip. She stayed with us, and initially, it was very difficult to find a balance and peace: she was constantly searching for food, but we had to teach her to ration her meals and most importantly, we made sure she understood that she would no longer suffer from hunger. Now she is doing well, in good condition, and has won the hearts of all our volunteers. Filippa, like all the puppies at the Shield of Pan shelter, is available for adoption only by distance (see the dedicated section, click DISTANCE ADOPTIONS). Animal Welfare Association ODV, registered with the Regional Voluntary Association Register with Directive Act n. 102/SA of 21/05/2008, number 260. Tax Code: 92049230516. Call the ASL central line, asking for the veterinary service, which will activate the on-call capture service.

Filippa è arrivata pelle e ossa, impaurita e senza microcip, è rimasta con noi e, inizialmente, è stato molto difficile trovare equilibrio e tranquillità: è perennemente in cerca di cibo ma abbiamo dovuto insegnarle a dosare la pappa e sopratutto abbiamo fatto in modo di farle capire che ora non soffrirà più la fame. Ora sta bene, è in forma e ha conquistato il cuore di tutti noi volontari. Filippa, come tutti i cagnolini dello Scudo di Pan, è adottabile solo a distanza (vedi sezione dedicata, clicca ADOZIONI A DISTANZA).

About Filippa

What life with Filippa looks like

Filippa is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lo Scudo di Pan - Rifugio per Animali in Italy.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Filippa, answered.

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