How do I contact the shelter about Lilli?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lilli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lilli if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba 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 Lilli 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 Lilli 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 Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lilli and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Adopt Lilli

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Lilli is an Abruzzese shepherd dog, 1 and a half years old, found together with her brother Mortadella, who was born without one foot, and her sister Lulu, both already adopted. She remained, but her potential and abilities are extraordinary. Thanks to the work of our trainers, Lilli is a manageable and cooperative dog. She calmly gets into the car and handles walks peacefully, showing she is ready for a family that wants to welcome her. She has a great ability to learn and adapt, characteristics that make her ideal for someone looking for a dog with which to establish a relationship based on communication and shared activities. Lilli is looking for a home where she can continue to grow and experience positive things. She is a young, energetic and resourceful dog, who needs an engaging and structured environment to best express her potential. If you cannot adopt her, you can support her through a sponsorship adoption. This will help us provide everything she needs while she waits for the family that will appreciate her. Lilli is ready to start a new adventure with someone who will give her trust and respect. Come and meet her! Give a home and a second chance to a heart full of love that is waiting only for you!

About Lilli

What life with Lilli looks like

Lilli is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba in Alba Adriatica TE.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
