Harlock

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Of this litter, the white female immediately found a family among those who rescued them; Harlock and Candy are still at the shelter. Estimated to be medium-sized as of April 2024, they are yet another litter abandoned in the countryside during summer... They come from Barge, and the person who first alerted us to their presence—and before we managed to get them safely into care—also told us that one of their little brothers had been hit and killed by a car on the road in broad daylight... We’re at a loss for words to describe the indifference of those who still fail to recognize the value of spaying or neutering... not to mention those who abandon them outright! As of January 2025, Harlock is still with us; he’s growing up at the kennel. Please help us find him a forever home!

Di questa cucciolata la femmina bianca ha trovato da subito famiglia da chi li ha salvati, in rifugio restano ancora Harlock e Candy. Stimati di aprile 2024 taglia media, sono l’ennesima cucciolata abbandonata per le campagne in estate…loro arrivano da Barge e chi ci ha segnalato la loro presenza prima di riuscire a metterli al sicuro ci ha anche detto che un loro fratellino è stato investito ed ucciso sulla strada in pieno giorno… non troviamo più parole per descrivere l’indifferenza di quelli che ancora non sanno dar valore ad una sterilizzazione .. senza parlare poi di quelli che li abbandonano anche! Harlock a gennaio 2025 è ancora con noi, sta crescendo in canile, aiutateci a trovargli casa! Per scoprire qualcosa in più su Harlock e Candy, clicca su questo LINK per vedere un loro video!

About Harlock

What life with Harlock looks like

Harlock is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio di Cavour in Italy.

An young 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 Harlock, answered.

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