How do I contact the shelter about Martiniano?

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

Can I adopt Martiniano 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 Martiniano 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 Martiniano 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 Martiniano 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.

Martiniano

Unknown · Young · 3 years

A very shy small dog that needs to regain trust in people. Martiniano, a medium small mixed breed, born in June 2023 and arrived at the dog shelter a few weeks old along with his sisters Martixa and Marianne, gets along with other dogs, both males and females, but is not well socialized with people. Shy and reluctant to touch, he does not tend to hide but is not used to being touched and handled and becomes stiff. He has never shown signs of aggression. We are looking for a person with a lot of experience who can take care of his socialization process with people. He is located in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Frosinone but we also place him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home check, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

Un cagnolino molto timido che ha bisogno di ritrovare fiducia nelle persone. Martiniano, meticcetto di taglia medio piccola, nato nel giugno 2023 ed arrivato in canile a poche settimane di vita insieme alle sue sorelle Martixa e Marianne, va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia maschi sia femmine ma non è ben socializzato con le persone. Timido e restio al contatto, non tende a nascondersi ma non è abituato ad essere toccato e maneggiato e si blocca. Non ha mai comunque dato segni di aggressività. Per lui cerchiamo una persona con tanta esperienza che possa occuparsi del suo percorso di socializzazione con le persone. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Frosinone ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinato, sterilizzato, testato leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Martiniano

What life with Martiniano looks like

Martiniano is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An 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.
