How do I contact the shelter about MISS &#038?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Forza RESCUE Dog handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MISS &#038 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt MISS &#038 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Forza RESCUE Dog 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 MISS &#038 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 MISS &#038 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 Forza RESCUE Dog early rather than rehoming privately; they know MISS &#038 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.

MISS & MISTER DOG 2026 – RED CARPET CHARITY 30 May - Piazza Manzoni, Lugano at 10 a.m. A special day, a unique event, a moment of celebration... but above all, a great act of love. Our much-loved Red Carpet Charity returns, where dogs of every breed, age and color will be able to walk the runway and shine like true stars. The event is open to all. It will take place in a single day. Immediate awards after each category. Final election of Miss & Mister Dog 2026 • Purebred Dogs - Females • Purebred Dogs - Males • Fantasy Dogs - Females • Fantasy Dogs - Males • Senior (8 years and older) Each Dog, Each Owner Puppies can participate from the age of 6 months. The judges will evaluate not only appearance, but also the dog's personality and the bond between the dog and owner, to reward harmony, understanding and character. The event is completely charitable: each participation (registration fee 15.- Fr.) will concretely support the many dogs saved by the association Forza Rescue Dog, which fights every day to give them a second chance. This year the Red Carpet will be even more special: it will be the only event to elect our Miss & Mister Dog, since the September event "Lugano a 4 Zampe" will not take place, but we will make up for it with a sparkling edition in 2027! For this reason, we need you even more. Participating means helping to save lives.

About MISS &#038

What life with MISS &#038 looks like

MISS &#038 is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Forza RESCUE Dog 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.
