Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

03-03-2015 - All the adventures of King maybe you don't even remember. Do you remember that puppy found in the dumpster with a hump? The times he was operated on. The lump, once the antibiotic treatment was completed, kept coming back. Finally we managed to solve the mystery of King. After so much time and another operation we removed the foreign body that kept troubling our friend. Even we were surprised when we saw what it was, we always thought it were bone fragments resulting from old spinal fractures and instead it was a spike of about 5 cm, likely having penetrated deeply at the time of the trauma then isolated by the organism. King woke up and immediately showed relief. And if King hadn't met us so stubborn? We hope we have solved all the mysteries of this little treasure. Thank you to whoever will help us, King is a treasure and deserves a lot. Rejected and thrown into the dumpster. This is how King was considered "by someone".

You can't imagine the many expenses incurred for this creature, to become like this it was necessary not only of treatments but also of a lot of love, which cures all diseases. King has fought a lot but now is a real treasure. A home for King.

He was thrown into the garbage dumpster, a person who found him took him to the vet and from there we were immediately called. Here he is, look at him in what condition he is. Monday we will do X-rays to find out what causes that hump. He is deformed, he looks like Quasimodo. He walks very badly. Every day for us is an emergency, every day is a life hanging by a thread. Not even the best tightrope walker can "stand" like us!!!!!!! Surely he belonged to some hunter. Little beagle we called you King. He is about three months old. G thank you from the bottom of our hearts to whoever helps King. Click on the photos to enlarge them!

03-03-2015 - Tutte le peripezie di King forse nemmeno ve le ricordate. Ricordate quel cucciolo trovato nel cassonetto con la gobba? Le volte che è stato operato. Il bozzo, terminato il ciclo di antibiotici prontamente si ripresentava. Finalmente siamo riusciti a risolvere il mistero di King. Dopo tanto tempo e un altro intervento abbiamo rimosso il corpo estraneo che continuava ad affliggere il nostro amico.anche noi siamo rimasti stupiti quando abbiamo visto di cosa si trattava, abbiamo sempre pensato che fossero dei sequestri ossei conseguenti alle vecchie fratture vertebrali e invece si trattava di un spiga di circa 5 cm verosimilmente penetrata in profondità al momento del trauma poi isolata dall'organismo. King si è risvegliato e da subito ha mostrato sollievo. E se King non avesse incontrato noi cosi' caparbi? Ci auguriamo di aver risolto tutti i misteri di questo piccolo tesoro. Grazie a chi ci aiuterà, King è un tesoro e merita tanto.Rifiutato e buttato nel cassonetto. Questo è stato considerato King per " qualcuno".

Non immaginate le tante spese sostenute per questa creatura, per diventare cosi' c'è stato bisogno oltre delle cure anche di tanto amore, quello cura tutte le malattie. King ha lottato tanto ma ora è un vero tesoro. Una casa per King Clicca sulle foto per ingrandirle! 25-06-2014 - Eccolo deforme, con una gobba, fa tenerezza solo a guardarlo eppure non c'è stata pietà per lui. E' stato buttato nel cassonetto della spazzatura, una persona che l'ha raccolta lo ha portato dal veterinario e da li siamo stati immediatamente chiamati. Eccolo guardatelo in che condizioni è. Lunedi faremo delle lastre per capire da cosa è causata quella gobba. E' deforme, sembra Quasimodo. Cammina malissimo.Ogni giorno per noi è un' emergenza, ogni giorno è un vita appesa ad un filo. Nemmeno il migliore equilibrista riesce a " stare in piedi" come noi!!!!!!! Sicuramente sarà stato di qualche cacciatore. Piccolo bracchetto ti abbiamo chiamato King. Ha circa tre mesi.

About King

What life with King looks like

King is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at L.I.D.A. Olbia in Olbia.

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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting King, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about King?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. L.I.D.A. Olbia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw King on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt King if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask L.I.D.A. Olbia whether they will for King, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is King already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for King. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by L.I.D.A. Olbia, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if King isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask L.I.D.A. Olbia about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know King 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.
