Adopt Lacko

Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Let's change the fate of this abandoned dog with many shares? Lacko, a medium-sized pit bull, born in May 2018, affectionate, lively, and sociable, seeking human contact, good on a leash. Single box. He was thrown away on the street in the spring of 2023, and like all pit bulls, he has very few chances of being adopted, but together we can change his fate. He is in a private, affiliated dog shelter in the province of Rome, but we also adopt him to the north, neutered, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis (negative), with a health record and of course with a microchip. 328 003 45 08 You can also send an SMS or leave a message in the office and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

About Lacko

What life with Lacko looks like

Lacko is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

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 Lacko, answered.

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