Holly

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Holly aspetta da 10 anni un’adozione, e ora ne ha ben 13…portati come una regina, s’intende! Ha bisogno di spazio esterno e di una cuccia al caldo. Patisce il freddo e ama il sole. Non adatta a un contesto urbano, non gradisce estranei che vogliano toccarla a tutti i costi, né gatti, coniglietti o cani cuccioli. Sì a cani adulti tranquilli (soprattutto maschi fieri), mentre non tollera femmine troppo dominanti. È importante sapere che non è disposta a condividere cibo e giochi con altri cani. Ideale figlia unica. Adora i pupazzini che suonano! Holly è un segugio italiano di taglia media contenuta che ha subito maltrattamenti da un cacciatore: la teneva segregata a fare cucciolate e la picchiava. Così ha imparato a scappare, scavare, fare buchi nella rete e ha sviluppato diffidenza verso gli estranei, che ai suoi occhi sono tutti potenziali cacciatori. Non è aggressiva: reagisce allontanandosi dal potenziale pericolo.Dopo tre-quattro incontri, invece, si fida ed è molto dolce. Se vivete fuori da una zona urbana, avete attorno a casa un bel terreno ben recintato a prova di segugio e volete adottare una cagnolina anziana ma ancora sana e scattante (provate a tirarle una pallina e la vedrete all’opera!), ecco a voi Holly!

About Holly

What life with Holly looks like

Holly is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Noirandagi ODV in Piacenza.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Holly, answered.

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