Adopt Nubio

Female · Senior · 9 years

A very good "staffy" is waiting for you at the dog shelter! Nubio, a Staffordshire, medium-sized dog, born in 2015 and confined since June 2017. He is a very sociable and confident dog, looking for contact and company, good on a leash. It's moving to see him so happy during the walk we took to take his photos and heartbreaking to put him back in his box and leave. We can assess compatibility with a female molosso similar to him. Nubio suffers greatly from confinement and desperately wants to finally have a family that takes care of him. He is located in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Rome but we also place him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, neutered, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip. 328 003 45 08 You can also send an SMS or leave a message in the voicemail and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Lo “staffy” più buono che c’è ti sta aspettando in canile! Nubio, derivato staffordshire, taglia media contenuta, nato 2015 e recluso dal lontano giugno 2017. E’ un cane molto socievole e confidente, in cerca di contatto e compagnia, bravo al guinzaglio. Commuovente vederlo così felice per la passeggiata che abbiamo fatto per scattargli le foto e straziante doverlo rimettere nel suo box ed andar via. Possiamo valutare la compatibilità con una femmina molossetta simile a lui. Nubio soffre molto la reclusione e desidera tanto avere finalmente una famiglia che pensi a lui. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, sterilizzato, vaccinato, testato leishmania e ovviamente con microchip. 328 003 45 08 Potete anche inviare un sms o lasciare un messaggio in segreteria e verrete ricontattati al più presto.

About Nubio

What life with Nubio looks like

Nubio is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Nubio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nubio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione ALFA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nubio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nubio if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA 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 Nubio 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 Nubio 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 Associazione ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nubio 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.
