MARIA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

MARIA è una incrocio maremmano di taglia grande (circa 30kg), accalappiata nelle nostre campagne, spaventatissima e gravida. Sta seguendo un percorso di riabilitazione emotiva, viene accudita quotidianamente con gentilezza, rispettando i suoi tempi e i suoi spazi, e piano piano sta facendo piccoli progressi. Non sappiamo quale sia il suo passato, ma di certo le persone che ha incontrato sulla sua strada sino ad ora, non l'hanno trattata affatto bene. Aiutateci a mantenerla nello stallo casalingo in cui si trova per non perdere tutti i progressi fatti sino ad ora!

About MARIA

What life with MARIA looks like

MARIA is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Lega Difesa Cane Verona in Italy.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 MARIA, answered.

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