How do I contact the shelter about Iva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fuori Le Zampe ODV handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Iva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Iva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fuori Le Zampe 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 Iva 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 Iva 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 Fuori Le Zampe ODV early rather than rehoming privately; they know Iva 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.

Female · Senior · 10 years

IVA - dog shelter in Calderara di Reno (BO) BREED: mixed-breed dog GENDER: FEMALE SIZE: MEDIUM DATE OF BIRTH: 10/11/2016 Iva: taking small steps... 🐾 Iva came from southern Italy full of fears. However, with small steps, she began to trust us and let herself go. Our Iva has made great progress, giving us strong emotions, so we even took her to an event of our Association in the square in Calderara. Iva loves walking in the woods, sniffing and carefully studying every blade of grass. She gets along well with her kind, especially males. If you already have a nice small dog in the family, our Iva would find in him a reliable companion. 🐕 Iva however does not know the reality outside the dog shelter. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out an adoption path with the help of our educators to accompany her in the discovery of a world completely new for her! Preferable adoption in an extra-urban environment. 🌳 Iva is young and is really very intelligent and capable of improving and would have a whole world to give. Give her a chance?

IVA – Canile di Calderara di Reno (BO) RAZZA: METICCIO SESSO: FEMMINA TAGLIA: MEDIA DATA DI NASCITA: 10/11/2016 Iva: a piccoli passi… 🐾 Iva è arrivata dal sud Italia piena di paure.. A piccoli passi, però, ha iniziato ad avere fiducia in noi e a lasciarsi andare. La nostra Iva, infatti, ha fatto enormi progressi, regalandoci forti emozioni, tanto che l’abbiamo portata anche ad un evento della nostra Associazione in Piazza a Calderara. Iva ama passeggiare nei boschi, annusare e studiare attentamente ogni filo d’erba. Va d’accordo con i suoi simili, soprattutto maschi. Se infatti vi fosse già un bel cagnolino in famiglia, la nostra Iva troverebbe in lui un fidato compagno. 🐕 Iva però non conosce la realtà al di fuori del canile. Per questo è necessario svolgere con l’aiuto dei nostri educatori un percorso di adozione per affiancarla nella scoperta di un mondo per lei del tutto nuovo! Preferibile adozione in un contesto extraurbano. 🌳 Iva è giovane ed è davvero molto intelligente e capace di migliorare ed avrebbe davvero un mondo da dare.. le date una possibilità? 🤞🏼

About Iva

What life with Iva looks like

Iva is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

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.
