How do I contact the shelter about Hannele?

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 Hannele on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hannele 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 Hannele 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 Hannele 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 Hannele 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.

Hannele

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

AAA Looking for a heart hero: she is special and needs you! Hannele is a Maremma crossbreed dog, large size, born in April 2021 and entered in a dog shelter in July 2022. Due to lack of knowledge, she is anxious around people but does not show aggressive reactions and gets along well with other females as well as males. She does not seek familiarity, does not want interactions, and if she has to be touched, she does so with the stoic resignation of someone who dreams of another life. Apart from this, with her canine pack she is very calm and peaceful, a discreet and respectful companion. She has a dermatitis on her back that requires a bit more attention (nothing insurmountable, promised). The ideal adopter? Patient like a Zen monk, lover of challenges and long waits. Someone who does not expect kisses and celebrations, but knows that true love comes in small steps. If you think you are the right person to win her heart, contact us. Who knows, you might be the one to give her the freedom to trust again! She is located in a private dog shelter in Basilicata and we place her both in Lazio and the North, after the proper pre-adoption home check, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

AAA Cercasi eroe del cuore: lei è speciale, e ha bisogno di te! Hannele è una meticcia di maremmano, taglia grande, nata nell’aprile 2021 ed entrata in canile nel luglio 2022. Per mancanza di conoscenza è preoccupata dagli esseri umani ma non ha reazioni aggressive e va d’accordo sia con altre femmine sia con i maschi. Lei non cerca confidenza, non vuole interazioni e, se proprio deve subire un tocco, lo fa con la stoica rassegnazione di chi sogna un’altra vita. A parte questo, con il suo branco canino è serenissima e tranquilla, una compagna discreta e rispettosa. Ha una dermatite sulla schiena che richiede un po’ di attenzioni in più (niente di insormontabile, promesso). L’adottante ideale? Paziente come un monaco zen, amante delle sfide e delle lunghe attese. Qualcuno che non si aspetti baci e feste, ma sappia che l’amore vero arriva a piccoli passi. Se pensi di essere tu la persona giusta per conquistare il suo cuore contattaci. Chissà, potresti essere proprio tu a darle la libertà di fidarsi di nuovo! Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in Basilicata e la affidiamo sia nel Lazio sia al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Hannele

What life with Hannele looks like

Hannele is a large adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An 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 — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
