Odette

Unknown

Odette arrives from Reggio Calabria and has lived in a dog shelter since the very beginning of its life. Growing up without real experiences outside the structure, it hasn’t had the chance to build a true relationship with humans or discover the outside world, and for this, in the face of new things, it can initially show timidity and insecurity. Despite the few experiences it has lived through, Odette harbors an immense sweetness within. It is a small female dog that is very affectionate, seeking contact with delicacy and has a deep need to feel loved and reassured. Every day, it observes, listens, learns something new, and finds a little more courage to let go. With her, everything happens gradually, in small steps and silent victories: a spontaneous search for a caress, a more serene look, the curiosity that slowly takes the place of fear. Odette is discovering the world little by little and seems to desire with all of herself a new life, made of presence, calm, and love to finally know day by day. Odette is a small, sweet, sensitive, and very affectionate female dog. She seeks contact with people and loves to feel reassured through caresses and presence. In the face of new things, she can initially show a bit of timidity, but her curiosity and the great desire to trust help her grow every day, facing the world with increasing serenity and courage.

Odette arriva da Reggio Calabria e ha vissuto in canile fin dai suoi primi giorni di vita. Crescendo senza vere esperienze fuori dalla struttura, non ha avuto la possibilità di costruire davvero una relazione con l’essere umano o di scoprire il mondo esterno, e per questo davanti alle novità può mostrarsi inizialmente timida e insicura. Nonostante le poche esperienze vissute, Odette custodisce dentro di sé una dolcezza immensa. È una cagnolina molto affettuosa, che cerca il contatto con delicatezza e ha un profondo bisogno di sentirsi amata e rassicurata. Ogni giorno osserva, ascolta, impara qualcosa di nuovo e trova un po’ più di coraggio per lasciarsi andare. Con lei tutto avviene piano, nei piccoli passi e nelle conquiste silenziose: una carezza cercata spontaneamente, uno sguardo più sereno, la curiosità che lentamente prende il posto della paura. Odette sta scoprendo il mondo un po’ alla volta e sembra desiderare con tutta sé stessa una vita nuova, fatta di presenza, calma e amore da conoscere finalmente giorno dopo giorno. Odette è una cagnolina dolce, sensibile e molto affettuosa. Cerca il contatto con le persone e ama sentirsi rassicurata attraverso carezze e presenza. Di fronte alle novità può mostrarsi inizialmente un po’ timida, ma la sua curiosità e la grande voglia di fidarsi la aiutano a crescere ogni giorno, affrontando il mondo con sempre più serenità e coraggio.

About Odette

What life with Odette looks like

Odette is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Pet Rescue Italia in Cornaredo.

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 Odette, answered.

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