Nemo

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

Hello everyone! 🐾 Let me introduce myself: my name is Nemo, a handsome mixed-breed puppy, a German Shepherd and Labrador mix, born in January 2026. I am a medium-sized dog. After my mom, Mimi, was rescued from the streets while pregnant, I grew up safely by her side. Now the time has come for me to find a family of my very own! I am a gentle, good-natured, and loving boy who simply needs someone patient to help me discover the world. I am still getting used to walking on a leash, but I am already doing quite well! I get along well with the dogs I live with, although I need a little time to get to know new canine friends. I am also used to living with cats. I am looking for a family that wants to grow together with me and offer me love, security, and many wonderful adventures. I am currently in Italy, but for the right adoption I can travel anywhere in Europe. 👉 Fully vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for Leishmaniasis and Brucellosis, and provided with an EU Pet Passport – ready for a loving home! 👉 Adoption subject to a home check, adoption fee, and adoption contract. 🐾❤️ 📝 Foster/adoption form: 📞 🇮🇹 Chiara (WhatsApp) – 🇬🇧 Chiara (WhatsApp only) – 🇩🇪 Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Nemo

What life with Nemo looks like

Nemo is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

A young 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 Nemo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nemo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Furry Rescue Italy handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nemo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nemo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Furry Rescue Italy 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nemo 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 Nemo 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 Furry Rescue Italy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nemo 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
