Female · Young · 2 years

FEMMINA- NATA A GENNAIO 2024- INCROCIO PASTORE- TAGLIA MEDIA (25KG) Filomena, è molto legato alla sua famiglia, in particolare a sua madre Angelica, e si sente più sicuro quando è in loro compagnia, uscendo nel prato solo con loro. Ha una forte paura del mondo esterno e al momento, non riesce a uscire in passeggiata. Non è a suo agio in ambiente cittadino e ha bisogno di una casa tranquilla fuori Milano, con un giardino sicuro dove possa sentirsi protetto e sereno. Filomena è compatibile con femmine e da valutare con maschi e altri animali La sua adozione richiede un percorso graduale, con visite al rifugio e un continuo affiancamento supportato da un educatore.

About Filomena

What life with Filomena looks like

Filomena is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati in Italy.

An young 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 Filomena, answered.

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