Adopt Kandie

Unknown · Young · 3 years

A lovely puppy, very eager to find a home! Kandie, a Maremmano mix, medium large size, born April 2023, good, sociable and calm natured, abandoned with her sisters without a mother, is waiting for her adoptive family. At first she seems slightly shy, especially because she is not used to being on a leash but after a while she relaxes and loves interaction, cuddles and even play. Gets along with her peers, both other females and males. We recommend its adoption also in families where there are children and elderly people. It is located in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Rome but we also place it in the north, after the proper pre-adoption home check, spayed, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with microchip. 328 003 45 08 You can also send an SMS or leave a message in the answering service and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Una cucciolona buona e tanto desiderosa di trovare casa! Kandie, derivato maremmano, taglia medio grande, nata aprile 2023, buona, socievole e dall’indole tranquilla, abbandonata con le sue sorelle senza mamma aspetta la sua famiglia adottiva. All’inizio si presenta leggermente timida soprattutto perchè non è abituata ad essere condotta al guinzaglio ma dopo poco si rilassa ed ama molto l’interazione, le coccole ed anche il gioco. Va d’accordo con i suoi simili, sia altre femmine sia maschi. Consigliamo la sua adozione anche con famiglie dove siano presenti bambini e persone anziane. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzata, vaccinata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip. 328 003 45 08 Potete anche inviare un sms o lasciare un messaggio in segreteria e verrete ricontattati al più presto.

About Kandie

What life with Kandie looks like

Kandie 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 Kandie, answered.

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