Orazio

Male · Puppy · 6 months

Age: Cucciolone Sex: Male Weight: 37 kg Coat length: Medium Coat color: White Neutered: Yes Size: Large Breed: Maremma Sheepdog My story Arrival from the mountains of Abruzzo where I was born and where, for some strange fate, I found myself alone. No one knows my story. Mother Nature made me grow strong and healthy, and a charming little village made of people, houses, gardens, and shops helped me survive the still cold winters in my part of the world. The same village that now no longer wants me because tourists will arrive who won't appreciate my affection and my intrusions into their picnics. I was born in the mountains but grew up among people, I am sociable and affectionate, used to living peacefully with other dogs, strays and not. I love open spaces and the outdoors.

About Orazio

What life with Orazio looks like

Orazio is a large puppy dog waiting at Rifugio di Travacò 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 Orazio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Orazio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio di Travacò handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Orazio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Orazio if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio di Travacò 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Orazio 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 Orazio 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 di Travacò early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orazio 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.
