Folletto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

16-04-2019 - The uncontainable happiness of the medical staff for the outcome of the operation: Folletto has started to walk and even urinates on his own!!!!!!!!!!! Our and your sacrifices have been rewarded by an unexpected outcome, because it was such a difficult operation that the main purpose was to relieve the great pain that had been troubling him for a long time but then.... We thank for the great professionalism and all the heart that doctor Antonella Gallucci and the entire team of the veterinary clinic in Assemini are putting in. This is just the beginning, now there will be a lot of physiotherapy and meanwhile we will keep you updated with all the progress of Folletto. Thank you Friends. The story of Folletto. Read >>>>> 05-04-2019 - He arrived at the animal shelter this evening. We received a request for help for a dog that was dragging himself, just look at how mangled his paws are to understand how long he has been in this condition. Tomorrow we will take him to the clinic and we will be able to give you more details about his health status. He arrived completely infested with ticks and parasites. What can we say? Strength and courage, because we must have a lot of strength and a lot of courage. We named him Folletto because the girl who rescued him, despite his conditions, saw him appear and disappear from her sight so much he was running and dragging himself scared. He is a little flower our Folletto.

16-04-2019 - L’incontenibile felicità dello staff medico per l’esito dell’intervento: Folletto ha iniziato a camminare e fa anche pipì da solo!!!!!!!!!!! I nostri e i vostri sacrifici ripagati da un esito insperato, si perché era un intervento talmente difficile che lo scopo principale era quello di togliere il grande dolore che da tempo lo affliggeva ma poi .... Ringraziamo per la grande professionalità e per tutto il cuore che ci stanno mettendo la dottoressa Antonella Gallucci e tutto lo staff della clinica veterinaria di Assemini. Questo è solo l’inizio, adesso tanta fisioterapia e nel frattempo vi terremo aggiornati con tutti i progressi di Folletto. Grazie Amici. La storia di Folletto. Leggi >>>>> 05-04-2019 - E' arrivato al rifugio questa sera. Abbiamo ricevuto una richiesta di aiuto per un cane che si trascinava, basta guardare come sono maciullate le sue zampe per capire da quanto tempo è in queste condizioni. Domani lo porteremo in clinica e potremo darvi maggiori dettagli sul suo stato di salute. E' arrivato completamente infestato da zecche e parassiti. Che dire? Forza e coraggio, perchè dobbiamo avere tanta forza e tanto coraggio. Lo abbiamo chiamato Folletto perchè la ragazza che lo ha soccorso, nonostante le sue condizioni, lo vedeva comparire e scomparire alla sua vista talmente correva e si trascinava spaventato. E' un piccolo fiorellino il nostro Folletto.

About Folletto

What life with Folletto looks like

Folletto 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Folletto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Folletto?
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 Folletto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Folletto 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 Folletto 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 Folletto 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 Folletto 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.
