Nikita

Husky · Female · Young · 1 year

Hello everyone! 🐾 I’d like to introduce myself briefly: My name is Nikita, I’m a young Husky puppy and I was born in early October 2024. I’m currently being treated for epileptic seizures. After spending some time at a veterinary clinic, I’m now being looked after by a volunteer in Calabria. However, she already has several dogs and can’t keep me forever. My condition needs to be monitored, but it may turn out to be only a temporary issue. I am a calm, incredibly sweet little girl and very friendly towards people. I also get on well with other dogs, both males and females. I need someone who is patient and loving, who is willing to look after me, support me as I grow up and accompany me to my therapy sessions if necessary. I urgently need a new home, either through adoption or as a foster dog, so that I can start a new life surrounded by care and peace. Will you help me reshape my future? Could you take me into foster care for a while, or perhaps adopt me and love me forever? ♥️ I’m currently in Italy and can travel throughout Europe and the UK for a good adoption or a safe foster home. 👉 Fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, tested negative for leishmaniasis and brucellosis, with an EU pet passport – ready for a loving home! 👉 Placement only with a protection contract, a nominal fee and a pre-adoption check. 📝 Foster/adoption form: 📞 🇮🇹 Chiara (WhatsApp) – 🇬🇧 Chiara (WhatsApp only) – 🇩🇪 Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Nikita

What life with Nikita looks like

Nikita is a medium-sized young adult husky 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 Nikita, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nikita?: 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 Nikita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nikita 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 Nikita 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 Nikita 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 Nikita 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.
