Maya

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Why adopt Maya? The simplest answer is because she is a small female dog, young and full of life, with a huge desire to play. She loves to jump in the pool in the summer, she loves to chase the ball always... and then she is very sweet and friendly. Maya was born on 1/7/2021, lived in a house and then brought to us at the animal shelter. Like everyone else, she needs a loving family that takes her in. Maya is waiting for you! Maya is located at the animal shelter in prov. of Caserta, and is adopted after a careful pre adoption placement, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed.

Perché adottare Maya? La risposta più semplice è perché lei è una cagnolina giovane e piena di vita , con una voglia di giocare enorme. Adora fare i tuffi nella piscina d'estate, ama rincorrere la pallina sempre...e poi è tanto dolce e simpatica. Maya è nata il 1/7/2021, viveva in casa e poi portata da noi al rifugio. Come tutti, ha bisogno di una famiglia affettuosa che la prenda con se. Maya ti aspetta! Maya si trova al rifugio in prov. di Caserta, e si affida dopo attento pre affido, vaccinata, microchippata e sterilizzata.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

An 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 Maya, answered.

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