How do I contact the shelter about Lauritz?

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 Lauritz on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lauritz 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 Lauritz 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 Lauritz 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 Lauritz 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.

Lauritz

Unknown · Young · 3 years

A wonderful dog that needs a home full of love as soon as possible! Lauritz is a mixed-breed dog derived from collie, medium-large size, born in September 2023, good but a bit shy and disoriented at first approach. Gets along with other dogs. Was abandoned when he was just a few weeks old along with his siblings without a mother, so he knows nothing about how to interact correctly with people without being afraid. Despite this, he has never shown signs of aggression. He needs as soon as possible a patient and responsible person who will take him to discover the world, who will build with him a relationship of friendship and mutual trust and who preferably already has another well-socialized dog. He is in a private accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also adopt him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home check, sterilized, 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 machine and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Un cane meraviglioso che ha bisogno di una casa piena di amore al più presto! Lauritz è un meticcio derivato collie, taglia medio grande, nato nel settembre 2023, buono ma un pò timido e spaesato al primo approccio. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani. È stato abbandonato quando aveva poche settimane di vita insieme ai suoi fratelli senza mamma per questo conosce nulla di come si interagisca correttamente con le persone senza averne paura. Nonostante questo non ha mai dato segni di aggressività. Ha bisogno al più presto di una persona paziente e responsabile che lo porti a scoprire il mondo, che costruisca con lui un rapporto di amicizia e fiducia reciproca e che abbia già, preferibilmente, un altro cane ben socializzato. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzato, vaccinato, testato 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 Lauritz

What life with Lauritz looks like

Lauritz 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.
