LIAM

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

COCCIS KIRA Male, born in 2014, similar to a basset hound. Chocolate color, sweet and very gentle character. He loves to run and play, is very intelligent and intuitive. The only big drawback: he doesn't tolerate any other four-legged presence! LIAM is an A.P.A. guest, after being in another animal shelter. We volunteers don't want him to jump from one animal shelter to another but we would like a permanent home... if you knew LIAM, surely the spark would ignite and the small little flaw would disappear... In compliance with health record: he's waiting for a family!

About LIAM

What life with LIAM looks like

LIAM is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio APA Chioggia 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 LIAM, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LIAM?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio APA Chioggia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LIAM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LIAM if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio APA Chioggia 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 LIAM 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 LIAM 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 APA Chioggia early rather than rehoming privately; they know LIAM 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.
