Hexton

Unknown · Young · 2 years

Good puppy who really wants a home! Hexton, similar to a mastiff, medium size, 16 kg, born April 2024, friendly with people, a bit shy at first approach. Gets along with other dogs, both males and females. Knows how to walk on a leash even though she needs a bit of exercise. She was abandoned in October 2024 and has been spending her days in a crate hoping for a family as soon as possible. She is located in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Rome but we also place her in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home check, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

Cucciolotta buona che desidera tanto una casa! Hexton, simil molossetta, taglia media, 16 kg, nata aprile 2024, socievole con le persone, un po’ timida al primo approccio. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia maschi sia femmine. Sa andare al guinzaglio anche se le occorre un po’ di esercizio. È stata abbandonata nell’ottobre 2024 e da allora trascorre le sue giornate in un box sperando in una famiglia al più presto. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Hexton

What life with Hexton looks like

Hexton is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

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 Hexton, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hexton?
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 Hexton on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hexton 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 Hexton 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 Hexton 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 Hexton 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.
