OSCAR

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

This lovely little dog has a sad story but we would like to change his life by finding him a nice family. His name is Oscar and he is 6 and a half years old, medium to large size. Oscar has a sad story... He was hit by a car in Puglia and taken to a shelter. There he had an operation that was not successful; Oscar kept limping. We decided to move him to the North for retirement and he is still there. Now, following an orthopedic operation, his limp has greatly reduced and he no longer has pain. Unfortunately, he has a wound on his paw that is not completely healed and which probably can only be properly monitored and managed once he is at home. He is an extremely affectionate, playful and loving dog. He is adopted as an only child and preferably with a garden (apartment can be considered). Oscar is in Milan and can be visited by appointment. He is neutered and vaccinated and is adopted with testing. For information: ADOTTAMI COL CUORE – ODV 349.6325688 www.adottamicolcuore.com

Questo bel cagnolone ha una storia sfortunata ma ci piacerebbe dare una svolta alla sua vita, trovandogli una bella famiglia. Lui si chiama Oscar e ha 6 anni e mezzo, taglia medio grande.​ Oscar ha una triste storia… Fu investito in Puglia e portato in canile. Lì subì un intervento che però non fu risolutivo; Oscar continuava a zoppicare. Decidemmo di trasferirlo al Nord in pensione e lì tuttora si trova. Adesso – in seguito ad un intervento ortopedico – la zoppia è notevolmente ridotta e lui non ha dolore. Purtroppo ha una ferita non completamente guarita sulla zampa che probabilmente solo una volta a casa potrà essere correttamente monitorata e gestita. E’ un cane estremamente coccolone, giocoso ed affettuoso. Si affida come figlio unico e possibilmente con giardino (da valutare appartamento). Oscar si trova a Milano ed è visitabile previo appuntamento. E’ sterilizzato e vaccinato e si affida testato. Per info: ADOTTAMI COL CUORE – ODV 349.6325688 www.adottamicolcuore.com

About OSCAR

What life with OSCAR looks like

OSCAR is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Adottami col Cuore in Andria (BAT).

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 OSCAR, answered.

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