Adopt Meleagro

Unknown · Adult · 6 years

A very good dog who is eager to go home! Meleagro, a medium-sized mixed-breed dog, 54 cm at the withers, born in 2020, affectionate, confident, and social with people, compatible with other dogs, both males and females, and is good on a leash. Meleagro particularly suffers from being confined in a crate and therefore has a skin condition that does not go away. For this reason, it is urgent to find him an adoptive family. He is located in a private dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, neutered, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course with a microchip. You can send an SMS or leave a message in the answering service and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Un cane tanto buono e desideroso di andare a casa! Meleagro, meticcio di taglia media, cm 54 al garrese, nato 2020, affettuoso, confidente, socievole con le persone, compatibile con gli altri cani, sia maschi sia femmine, ed è bravo al guinzaglio. Meleagro soffre particolarmente la reclusione in box e per questo è affetto da una dermatite che non passa. Anche per questa ragione è urgente trovare per lui una famiglia adottiva. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzato, vaccinato, testato leishmania e ovviamente con microchip. Puoi inviare un sms o lasciare un messaggio in segreteria e verrete ricontattati al più presto.

About Meleagro

What life with Meleagro looks like

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

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 Meleagro, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Meleagro?
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 Meleagro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Meleagro 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 Meleagro 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 Meleagro 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 Meleagro 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.
