Lola

Female · Young · 3 years

Hello everyone! 🐾 Let me introduce myself: my name is Lola, I am a beautiful shepherd-like female dog, born around August 2023. I am medium-sized, weigh about 23 kg, and have a very gentle nature and a heart that has never stopped searching for love. Unfortunately, my story has not been an easy one. I have experienced fear and human cruelty. I was beaten and had stones thrown at me, even while I was pregnant with my puppies. Thankfully, a kind-hearted person rescued me and brought me to safety, and from that moment on, my life finally began to change for the better. I have recently been spayed after raising and weaning all of my puppies. They were taken in by a shelter in Turin and, fortunately, they have all already found loving families. I am so happy for them… but now it is my turn. I am a very loving and affectionate dog. I am still a little timid around people, which is understandable after everything I have been through, but as soon as I realize I am safe, I come closer and constantly seek cuddles, affection, and companionship. Now that my puppies have found their homes, I would love to experience something I have never truly had: a family of my own, a safe home, and someone who will love me with patience, kindness, and respect. ❤️ Could you be the family I have been waiting for? 🐾 I am currently in Southern Italy, but for the right adoption I can travel throughout Europe for fostering or adoption. 👉 I am vaccinated, neutered and tested negative for Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Dirofilaria, Brucellosis and Leishmania. 👉 Adoption only with a protection contract, adoption fee and home check (RBU included). 📝 Foster/adoption form: 📞 🇮🇹 Chiara (WhatsApp) – 🇬🇧 Chiara (WhatsApp only) – 🇩🇪 Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

A 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lola, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lola?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Furry Rescue Italy handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lola on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lola if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Furry Rescue Italy 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lola 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 Lola 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 Furry Rescue Italy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lola 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
