GIPSY

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Found stray, she stole our hearts in less than a minute. She was probably home-trained, used to everything, incredibly good, perfect on walks and with other dogs. Sweet and affectionate, she is the ideal small female dog for everyone. She's still young, we estimate 3/4 years old, and she's so beautiful that we can't leave her in the box.

Trovata vagante, ci ha rubato il cuore in meno di un minuto. Probabilmente era di casa, è abituata a tutto, buona all’inverosimile, perfetta in passeggiata e con gli altri cani. Dolce e coccolona, è la cagnolina ideale per tutti. È ancora giovane, ipotizziamo 3/4 anni, ed è talmente splendida che non possiamo lasciarla in box. 🤍3/4 anni, meticcia taglia medio piccola🏠🍀adatta a tutti i contesti 🐶compatibile previo inserimento Home Privacy Web Policy Privacy Mappa del sito

About GIPSY

What life with GIPSY looks like

GIPSY is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Rifugio del Gazzo in Genova.

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 GIPSY, answered.

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