Jenny

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Jenny is a small female dog born in May 2021, who when she arrived didn't even want to be looked at, let alone approached. After a lot of work and time, we've reached where she is today: in the box she greets people she knows very well and also goes out for walks willingly. She is a very sweet, kind small female dog that gets along well with others. When she forms a bond with someone and begins to trust them, she increasingly shows her loyalty and connection, she looks for you. But she remains a shy small female dog that is frightened by loud noises. She is a very sensitive small female dog that needs to be handled with awareness, sensitivity and expertise. Jenny is located near Naples and will be given to a family who will consider her as a family member, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed.

Jenny è una cagnolina nata a maggio del 2021, che quando è arrivata non si faceva nemmeno guardare, figuriamoci avvicinare. Dopo un bel po’ di lavoro, un bel po di tempo, siamo arrivati a com’è oggi: nel box fa grandi feste a chi conosce bene ed esce anche in passeggiata volentieri. È una cagnolina dolcissima, gentile va d’accordo con gli altri. Quando crea un legame con qualcuno e inizia a fidarsi mostra in modo sempre crescente la sua lealtà e connessione, ti cerca. Ma resta una cagnolina timorosa, che si spaventa per rumori forti. È una cagnolina molto sensibile che va gestita con consapevolezza, sensibilità e competenza. Jenny si trova vicino Napoli e verrà affidata vaccinata, chippata e sterilizzata a chi la considererà come membro di famiglia.

About Jenny

What life with Jenny looks like

Jenny is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

An 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 Jenny, answered.

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