Lady

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Explain how it is possible that such a beautiful, sweet, sunny and good pit has spent so many years in an animal shelter. We cannot find an explanation, no one has ever fallen in love with these expressive amber eyes. Lady does not ask much, she asks to be noticed, she just needs a little to be happy, just some love. Story Born on 1/09/13 She is Lady, a beautiful pit who was found in poor condition on a highway, then brought to us at the animal shelter. The volunteers of the animal shelter have taken care of her physically, vaccinated her, spayed her and microchipped her. Lady is very ready to go home and is adopted anywhere there is a family willing to love her, preferably as an only child. NO DOG FOR GUARD, NO ONLY YARD, LADY MUST BE PART OF THE FAMILY.

Spiegateci come sia possibile che una pit così bella, dolce, solare e buona abbia passato tanti anni in rifugio. Noi non riusciamo a trovare una spiegazione, nessuno si è mai innamorato di questi occhi tanto espressivi color ambra. Lady non chiede molto, chiede che venga notata, le basta poco per essere felice, solo un pò di amore. Storia Nata il 1/09/13 Lei è Lady, una bellissima pit che fu trovata in pessime condizioni su una strada a scorrimento veloce, poi portata da noi al rifugio. Noi volontari del rifugio abbiamo provveduto a farla riprendere fisicamente, a vaccinarla,a sterilizzarla e chipparla. Lady è prontissima per andare a casa e si affida ovunque ci sia una famiglia disposta ad amarla, possibilmente come figlia unica. NO CANE DA GUARDIA, NO SOLO GIARDINO, LADY DEVE FAR PARTE DELLA FAMIGLIA.

About Lady

What life with Lady looks like

Lady is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

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 chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lady, answered.

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