Olivia

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Olivia is a three-month-old puppy, found on 28/4/2026 together with her two sisters in a tourist location in central Sardinia. The litter is the latest in a series, of a small female dog mother of the puppies and stray in the area for months, which we are trying to capture to spay her. Olivia is a future medium-sized dog. A bit shy at first, like her sisters, but then she relaxes. She is in Sardinia but is available for adoption in northern Italy if there is a good adoption request. A minimum fee is required for vaccines and travel in favor of our organization. Mandatory sterilization as an adult. For information and only for those interested, contact Flavia 393/9515573. Email: . Website: www.zampesarde.it. Fill out the online form only if you are genuinely interested in submitting an adoption request.

OLIVIA è una cucciolona nata a Febbraio 2026, ritrovata insieme alle altre due sorelline in una località turistica del centro Sardegna. La cucciolata è l’ennesima in ordine tempo, di una cagnolina madre dei piccoli e randagia da mesi nella zona, che stiamo cercando di catturare per sterilizzarla. OLVIA a differenza delle due sorelline, non si fa avvicinare. A breve inizierà un percorso con un educatore così da aiutarla ad avere meno paura dell’essere umano. Non è aggressiva, ma si allontana di diversi metri da te se cerchi di avvicinarla. Chiunque voglia darle una possibilità, deve mettere in conto che dovrà avere pazienza e perseveranza, per cui dovete darle tutto il tempo necessario affinché capisca che si senta amata ed al sicuro. Adottabile solo in Sardegna, perché pensiamo che farla viaggiare oltre mare potrebbe ulteriormente destabilizzarla. È preferibile che la famiglia adottante abbia un altro cane, così che OLIVIA possa essere sostenuta nell’inserimento anche da un suo simile. Per info e solo interessati contattare Flavia 393/9515573. Email: . Sito: www.zampesarde.it. Compilare il modulo online solo se realmente interessati a presentare richiesta di adozione.

About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Zampesarde 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 chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Olivia, answered.

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