How do I contact the shelter about Gemmina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione ALFA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gemmina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gemmina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA 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 Gemmina 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 Gemmina 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 ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gemmina 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.

Gemmina

Unknown · Young · 1 year

Tiny, delicate, young small female dog abandoned seeks a home! Gemmina, a little "spinoncina" type scricciolo around 6 kg, presumed birth date March 2025, was found inside a dog shelter box waiting for someone to notice her. She is a small female dog initially timid and a bit scared, but with the right approach, she is the one at times seeking contact and interactions with people, allowing herself to be touched and petted without problems. She gets along well with other dogs and desperately wants a loving and patient adoptive family because she doesn’t want to stay confined anymore. She is located in a private conventionally contracted dog shelter in the province of Rome but can also be placed in the north after proper pre-adoption home checks. She is sterilized, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course has a microchip.

Piccola, delicata, giovane cagnolina abbandonata cerca casa! Gemmina, uno scricciolo tipo “spinoncina” di circa 6 kg, data di nascita presunta marzo 2025, chiusa dentro un box di canile ad aspettare qualcuno che si accorga di lei. È una cagnolina inizialmente timidina ed un po’ spaventata ma con il giusto approccio è proprio lei in certi momenti a cercare il contatto e le interazioni con le persone, lasciandosi toccare e accarezzare senza problemi. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani e desidera tantissimo una famiglia adottiva amorevole e paziente perché reclusa proprio non ci vuol restare più. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzata, vaccinata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Gemmina

What life with Gemmina looks like

Gemmina is a young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

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.
