Lapo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

11-02-2015 - I was born on 01/03/2008, I entered the animal shelter IL on 17/05/2008, I was about TWO MONTHS old. I have always been a strong but scared dog, They called me Lapo, but without a throne ... now I need that throne and I think somewhere in this world someone will help me. I beg you with my heart in my hands, help me. A adoption from the heart, for Lapo. Tomorrow I will tell you about him, about that creature who in life has never had anything except a net that separated him from the rest of the world.

Sono sempre stato un cane forte ma pauroso, Mi hanno chiamato Lapo, ma senza trono ... ora ho bisogno di quel trono e penso che in un angolo di questo mondo qualcuno mi aiuterà. Vi prego con il cuore in mano, aiutatemi. Un'adozione del cuore, per Lapo. Domani vi parlerò di lui, di quella creatura che nella vita non ha mai avuto nulla se non una rete che l'ha diviso dal resto del mondo.

About Lapo

What life with Lapo looks like

Lapo 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 Lapo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lapo?: 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 Lapo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lapo 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 Lapo, 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 Lapo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Lapo. 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 Lapo 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 Lapo 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.
