Adopt MIRKO e LICIA

Unknown

Today we present MIRKO e LICIA! Found wandering a couple of months ago, they were scared of everything and everyone at first, so timid and disoriented that they almost didn't leave the box. Over time they have opened up, become more comfortable, but they still have a bit of a lion's heart! Mirko, a brown hound - Licia, a beige mixed-breed dog. They are used to the street, no fear of cars and motorcycles, still a bit uncoordinated on walks but they are improving by the day. They are sweet, affectionate, good with other dogs - they just need to learn to trust to really open up and show how wonderful they are.

Oggi vi presentiamo Mirko e Licia! Trovati vaganti un paio di mesi fa, all’inizio erano spaventati da tutto e da tutti, così timorosi e disorientati che quasi non uscivano dal box.Con il passare del tempo si sono aperti, hanno preso confidenza, ma sempre un po’ cuor di leone rimangono! Mirko, segugio marrone – Licia, meticcio beige Sono abituati alla strada, nessun timore di macchine e moto, ancora un po’ scoordinati in passeggiata ma stanno migliorando a vista d’occhio. Sono dolci, affettuosi, bravi con gli altri cani – hanno solo bisogno di fidarsi per aprirsi davvero e mostrare quanto siano meravigliosi.

About MIRKO e LICIA

What life with MIRKO e LICIA looks like

MIRKO e LICIA is a adult dog waiting at Rifugio del Gazzo in Genova.

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 MIRKO e LICIA, answered.

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