NOCE

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

In cold, rainy December 2023, a small, trembling puppy was found on the street. For the next 4 months, he lived in a house, but when he grew up, he was moved to an outdoor kennel. Despite all this, Noce remains incredibly affectionate and sociable. He welcomes everyone he meets with a wagging tail and an open heart. Noce is very trainable, a quick learner who promptly learned to wear a harness and walk on a leash. As a puppy, he even lived peacefully with a cat. His potential is limitless, yet, despite everything, he has not yet received a single adoption inquiry. We are looking for a loving, responsible family who will see Noce as a member of the family and will never abandon him again.

Nel freddo e piovoso dicembre del 2023, un cucciolo piccolo e tremante è stato trovato in strada. Per i successivi 4 mesi ha vissuto in una casa, ma quando è cresciuto, è stato trasferito in un box all’aperto.Nonostante tutto questo, Noce rimane incredibilmente affettuoso e socievole. Accoglie chiunque incontri con la coda scodinzolante e il cuore aperto. Noce è molto addestrabile, un apprendista veloce che ha imparato subito a indossare la pettorina e a camminare al guinzaglio. Da cucciolo ha persino vissuto pacificamente con un gatto. Il suo potenziale è illimitato, eppure, nonostante tutto, non ha ancora ricevuto una sola richiesta di adozione.Stiamo cercando una famiglia amorevole e responsabile che veda Noce come un membro della famiglia e non lo abbandoni mai più.

About NOCE

What life with NOCE looks like

NOCE is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Fata 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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting NOCE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about NOCE?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Rifugio Fata handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw NOCE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt NOCE if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Rifugio Fata whether they will for NOCE, what they require (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 NOCE already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for NOCE. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Rifugio Fata, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if NOCE isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Rifugio Fata about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know NOCE 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.
