Miriam

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 3 months

Sweet Miriam comes from the accredited veterinary shelter of the municipality of Anguillara, where she entered when she was just three months old. She grew up in a small, cold concrete space with four walls that lacked serenity. She has never known anything else in her life, and now that she is four years old, she has difficulty accepting new things. She is still shy, but with our volunteers and dog trainers, she is taking small steps forward, supported and reassured by her new companion Danny. Miriam is a smaller-sized similar to a Maremma, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, compatible with other dogs, whom she relies on, and cats. Help us help her discover the beauty of this world.

La dolce Miriam viene dal canile sanitario convenzionato con il comune di Anguillara nel quale è entrata appena aveva 3 mesi. E’ cresciuta quindi all’interno di un posto angusto, quattro pareti di cemento fredde e prive di serenità. Non ha conosciuto nient’altro nella sua vita ed ora che ha quattro anni ha difficoltà nell’accettare le novità. E’ ancora timorosa ma insieme ai nostri volontari ed educatori cinofili sta facendo piccoli passi avanti, appoggiata e rassicurata dal suo nuovo compagno Danny. Miriam è un simil maremmano di taglia più contenuta, sterilizzata, vaccinata e microchippata, compatibile con gli altri cani, ai quali si affida molto, e gatti. Aiutateci a farle scoprire le bellezze di questo mondo.

About Miriam

What life with Miriam looks like

Miriam is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at A.S.P.A. Onlus 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Miriam, answered.

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