How do I contact the shelter about Grace?

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

Can I adopt Grace if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio San Francesco 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 Grace 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 Grace 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 San Francesco early rather than rehoming privately; they know Grace 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.

Grace

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Grace is a special mom looking for a family. She has lovingly cared for her puppies, who now live happily in their new homes, but she is still waiting for her happy ending. Grace is a small female dog, kind and affectionate, as well as infinitely gentle. She has waited too long and deserves to live a happy life like her children. Give her a chance. STORY Born in March 2020 Tender Grace how many things you must have gone through starting with those ears cut in a barbaric way, but she is calm, the worst is behind her. This sweet small female dog, perhaps an American Bully mix, was left in pitiful condition at the end of October 2022 outside our animal shelter along with her 8 newborn puppies. We don't know anything about her past or how many litters she has already had, but now she is safe. Now her puppies have grown up and have been adopted and her job as a mother is over so we start looking for a home for her as well. She is a very sweet and disarmingly gentle dog, with eyes that speak for themselves. However, she does not get along with other dogs and cats. She is located near Naples and will be given to a new home after being vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, following a pre-adoption home check and signing adoption forms.

STORIA Nata a marzo 2020 Tenera Grace quante devi averne passate a cominciare da quelle orecchie tagliate in modo barbaro, ma tranquilla il peggio è passato. Questa dolce cagnolina, forse incrocio american bully, è stata lasciata in condizioni pietose alla fine di ottobre 2022 fuori al nostro rifugio insieme ai suoi 8 cuccioli di pochi giorni. Non sappiamo nulla del suo passato né di quante cucciolate abbia già dato alla luce ma ora è al sicuro. Ora i suoi cuccioli sono cresciuti e sono stati adottati e il suo compito di mamma è terminato quindi iniziamo a cercare una casa anche per lei. È una cagnona dolcissima e di una tenerezza disarmante, con gli occhi che parlano da soli. Però non va d'accordo con i suoi simili e con i gatti. Si trova vicino Napoli e si affiderà vaccina, chippata e sterilizzata dopo controlli preaffido e firma moduli di adozione.

About Grace

What life with Grace looks like

Grace is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

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.
