How do I contact the shelter about Leslina?

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

Can I adopt Leslina 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 Leslina 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 Leslina 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 Leslina 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.

Likely adopted

Leslina

Unknown · Adult · 8 years

A duck that suffers greatly from being kept in confinement, for which we are looking for a heart adoption! Leslina, a beagle mix, medium size, 20 kg, presumed birth October 2018, good, sociable, confident, curious. Good on the leash and gets along well with other dogs. She was abandoned in October 2024, probably because she was sick with leishmaniasis and has been spending her days in a crate waiting for a home. Leslina is affected by leishmaniasis for which she has been treated. She will only need to be monitored over time. She is located in a private dog shelter in the province of Rome but we can also place her in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, spayed, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

Una canetta che soffre molto la detenzione per la quale stiamo cercando un’adozione del cuore! Leslina, derivato beagle, taglia media, 20 kg, nascita presunta ottobre 2018, buona, socievole, confidente, curiosa. Brava al guinzaglio e va d’accordo con gli altri cani. È stata abbandonata nell’ottobre 2024, probabilmente perché ammalata di leishmania e da allora trascorre le sue giornate in un box nell’attesa di una casa. Leslina è affetta da leishmaniosi per la quale è stata trattata. Andrà soltanto seguita nel tempo. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzata, vaccinata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Leslina

What life with Leslina looks like

Leslina 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.
