Janelle

Unknown · Young · 2 years

The sweet Janelle is a bit fearful and is looking for a loving family! Janelle is a medium-sized mixed-breed dog, born in April 2024, who is still apprehensive about her relationship with people, having had little experience with them during her first few months of life. She was abandoned along with her siblings, without their mother. We’re seeking an experienced person for her—ideally someone who already has a well-socialized dog at home—who can welcome her with competence and sensitivity, helping her overcome her fears. She’s currently staying at a private, affiliated kennel in the province of Rome, but we’re also willing to place her in the north, after completing the necessary pre-adoption checks, providing a health record that includes deworming treatments, vaccinations, and, of course, microchipping. Adoption Department, ALFA Association OdV. SMS/WhatsApp: 3280034508; email: A volunteer from ALFA will contact you to provide all the information you need.

La tenera Janelle è un po’ paurosa e cerca una famiglia amorevole! Janelle è una meticcetta di taglia media, nata a aprile 2024, preoccupata del rapporto con le persone del quale ha fatto poca esperienza nei suoi primi mesi di vita. È stata abbandonata insieme ai suoi fratelli senza mamma. Cerchiamo per lei una persona con esperienza, che abbia possibilmente un cane ben socializzato in casa, che sappia accoglierla con competenza e delicatezza permettendole così di superare le sue paure. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, con cartella sanitaria comprendente le sverminazioni, vaccinazioni e ovviamente con microchip.

About Janelle

What life with Janelle looks like

Janelle 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 Janelle, answered.

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