Adopt Geremia

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

You are always here Geremia... It wasn't enough that your beauty, your kindness, your desire to give and receive love; it wasn't enough the countless appeals to show the world how beautiful and sweet you are. You are practically invisible and we don't understand why. Yet Geremia, you are a strong dog, your will to live was rekindled after your stay in a concentration camp dog shelter, you were betrayed by someone who should have loved you, you lost your beloved little brother with whom you lived in symbiosis, your eyes tell of your experiences but no one reads them... they don't know what a treasure you are. We try again Geremia, with all our hearts, because we want to hope that for you there is a happy ending. Geremia is nine years old, he is a medium to large sized similar to a spinone, compatible with his peers, he is located in the province of Naples and is available for adoption following adoption procedures. Light a spark of hope for Geremia: if you can't adopt him, share his appeal.

Sei sempre qui Geremia…Non è bastata la tua bellezza, la tua bontà, la tua voglia di dare e ricevere amore; non sono bastati gli innumerevoli appelli per far vedere al mondo quanto sei bello e dolce. Sei praticamente invisibile e non capiamo il perché. Eppure Geremia sei un cane forte, si è riaccesa in te la voglia di vivere dopo la permanenza in un canile lager, sei stato tradito da chi doveva amarti, hai perso il tuo amato fratellino con cui vivevi in simbiosi, i tuoi occhi raccontano il tuo vissuto ma nessuno li legge …non sanno che tesoro sei. Ci riproviamo Geremia, con tutto il cuore, perché vogliamo sperare che per te ci sia un lieto fine. Geremia ha nove anni, è un simil spinone di taglia medio grande compatibile con i suoi simili, si trova in provincia di Napoli e si affida dopo prassi adottiva. Accendi una luce di speranza per Geremia: se non puoi adottarlo, condividi il suo appello.

About Geremia

What life with Geremia looks like

Geremia is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at OIPA Italy in Rome.

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.

Note from the shelter: Emotional trauma from past abandonment and loss of companion dog

🇮🇹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 Geremia, answered.

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