How do I contact the shelter about Milo?

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

Can I adopt Milo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zampesarde 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 Milo 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 Milo 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 Zampesarde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Milo 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.

Milo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Two strays. That's how they were treated. Tired, debilitated, hungry and under the scorching sun these days. The vet determined that if they had stayed a bit longer with these temperatures they would certainly have died of dehydration. Found inside a box (CLOSED). "No food, no water? Great, so you die first," whoever abandoned you must have thought, "If you're lucky someone will save you." And so it was: their cries fortunately attracted the attention of a farmer from a neighboring field. He is MILO, and together with his little brother (SHIRO) are two puppies about two months old. They have already experienced death up close after just a few months of life. Do you want to give them a lifetime adoption? Shelter Zampesarde, Ghilarza (Or). Website: www.zampesarde.it. Fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire online at www.zampesarde.it. If you are eligible, we will contact you for further information.

Due scarti. Ecco come vi hanno considerati. Stanchi, debilitati, affamati e sotto il sole cocente di questi giorni. Il veterinario ha stabilito che se fossero rimasti ancora un po’ di tempo con queste temperature sarebbero certamente morti disidratati. Ritrovati all’interno di una scatola( CHIUSA). “Niente cibo, ne acqua? Ottimo,così morite prima”, deve aver pensato chi vi abbandonati, “Se siete fortunati qualcuno vi salva.” E così è stato: i loro pianti hanno fortunatamente attirato l’attenzione del contadino di un campo confinante. Lui è MILO, ed insieme al fratellino (SHIRO) sono due cucciolotti di circa due mesi. Hanno già vissuto la morte da vicino dopo pochi mesi di vita. Gli regalate un adozione per la vita?

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Zampesarde in Italy.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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.
