NINA

Unknown

Occhi che parlano e una dolcezza infinita: ecco Nina! Nina è un cagnolona non più giovanissima con un passato sfortunato alle spalle: per anni è stata usata come fattrice, costretta a diventare mamma più e più volte, usata, sfruttata e infelice. Eppure non ha mai perso l’amore per le persone e per la vita.. dolcissima, coccolona, meravigliosa in tutti in sensi, attende fiduciosa un futuro in famiglia e noi faremo di tutto per provare a realizzare il suo sogno. Bravissima al guinzaglio, ogni passeggiata è un’occasione per scoprire il mondo.. e per vederla davvero felice datele una pozza d’acqua e vedrete che gioia! Merita di trovare finalmente qualcuno che la ami, la coccoli e le regali quella vita che non ha mai potuto avere.Venite a conoscerla❤️

About NINA

What life with NINA looks like

NINA 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 NINA, answered.

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