Hana

Great Dane ยท Female ยท Young ยท 3 years

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿพ Let me introduce myself: my name is Hana, I am a beautiful Great Dane mix, born in January 2023, and Iโ€™m a gentle giant of about 45 kg with a huge and very loving heart. My story begins when I was just 3 months old. I was still a tiny puppy when I first felt the cold of the asphalt instead of the warmth of a home. Luckily, a volunteer took care of me and gave me a chance, but since then Iโ€™ve spent my life moving between shelters, fences and a lot of waiting. Over the years, Iโ€™ve already changed shelters three times. I lived in Albania and in Greece, but no one has chosen to adopt me yet. And so, after more than three years, Iโ€™m still here waiting for my family. Yet Iโ€™m a wonderful dog: Iโ€™m affectionate, sweet and I love being cuddled and cared for. I get along well with children and Iโ€™m friendly with other dogs, including puppies. Iโ€™m used to walking on a leash, I have a medium energy level and Iโ€™m a calm, pleasant companion. ๐Ÿ‘‰ I am vaccinated, neutered and tested negative for Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Dirofilaria, Brucellosis and Leishmania. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Adoption only with a protection contract, adoption fee and home check (RBU included). ๐Ÿ“ Foster/adoption form: ๐Ÿ“ž ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Chiara (WhatsApp) โ€“ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Chiara (WhatsApp only) โ€“ ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Hana

What life with Hana looks like

Hana is a large young adult great dane dog waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible โ€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นAdopting 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 Hana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hana?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Furry Rescue Italy handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hana if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Furry Rescue 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Hana 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Hana isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Furry Rescue Italy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hana 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
