How do I contact the shelter about Macario?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. L.I.D.A. Olbia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Macario on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Macario if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — L.I.D.A. Olbia 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 Macario 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 Macario 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 L.I.D.A. Olbia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Macario 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.

Macario

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

23-02-2016 - We were called by a friend, on the road near the level crossing of via Nanni, he was lying lifeless, dehydrated, with mucus around the nose, exhausted from not being able to move, regardless of the cars that passed by. And how many people saw him?? How many mothers passed there to pick up their children from school? No one had mercy on this poor, sneezing cat!!!!!!!! What kind of heart you have!!!!!!! People also walk on that road when they come out of work, no one saw him and helped him. We promptly picked him up and took him to the animal shelter. He was dehydrated, his skin was like cardboard. Once we gave him first aid and hydrated him, he started purring, bumping his head against us to get petted. It was the best reward we could receive. We will take care of him, he will become a wonderful large cat. We named him Macario. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to those who will support us, we need Vibravet very much, it is essential to save him.

23-02-2016 - Siamo stati raggiunti telefonicamente da un'amica, sulla strada vicino al passaggio a livello di via Nanni, lui giaceva inanime, disidratato, con il muco intorno al naso, sfinito da non riuscire a spostarsi, incurante delle macchine che gli passavano accanto. E in quanti lo hanno visto?? Quante mamme sono passate di li per andare a prendere i figli a scuola? Nessuno ha avuto pietà di questo povero gatto moccicoso!!!!!!!! Razza di cuore incrostato che avete!!!!!!! In quella strada passano anche tante persone a piedi quando escono dal lavoro, nessuno lo ha visto e soccorso. Prontamente lo abbiamo prelevato e portato al rifugio. Era disidratato, la pelle un cartone. Una volta prestati i primi soccorsi e idratato ha iniziato a farci le fusa, a sbattere il suo testone contro di noi per avere le carezze. E' stata la paga migliore che potessimo ricevere. Lo cureremo, diventerà un meraviglioso gattone. Lo abbiamo chiamato Macario. Grazie di cuore a chi ci sosterrà, abbiamo tanto bisogno di Vibravet, indispensabile per salvarlo.

About Macario

What life with Macario looks like

Macario is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at L.I.D.A. Olbia in Olbia.

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.
