How do I contact the shelter about Ozlo?

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 Ozlo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ozlo 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 Ozlo 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 Ozlo 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 Ozlo 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.

Ozlo

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

A kind and lively big dog is waiting for you at the shelter! Ozlo, a large-sized mixed-breed dog born in April 2019, is sociable and trusting around people. He gets along well with other dogs, both males and females. He’s a bundle of four-legged joy, with an unstoppable urge to run, play, and have fun. Ozlo is still learning how to walk nicely on a leash. He loves the idea of going for walks, but his energy drives him to explore every corner of the world very quickly—so anyone who decides to adopt him will need to be prepared for a bit of training and the occasional tug here and there. But with a little patience, we’re confident he’ll become perfect on the leash too! He’s currently at a private, affiliated shelter in the province of Rome, but we’re also able to place him in the north, after completing the necessary pre-adoption checks. He’s vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course microchipped. Adoption Department, ALFA OdV Association.

Un cagnolone buono e vivace che ti sta aspettando in canile! Ozlo, meticcio di taglia grande, nato aprile 2019, socievole e confidente, con le persone. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia maschi sia femmine. È un concentrato di allegria a quattro zampe, con una voglia irrefrenabile di correre, giocare e divertirsi. Ozlo sta ancora imparando a camminare gentilmente al guinzaglio. Adora l’idea di passeggiare, ma la sua energia lo porta a voler esplorare ogni angolo del mondo moooolto velocemente, quindi chi deciderà di adottarlo, occorre che si prepari a un po’ di allenamento e a qualche tirone qua e là. Ma con un po’ di pazienza, siamo certi che diventerà perfetto anche al guinzaglio! Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinato, sterilizzato, testato leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Ozlo

What life with Ozlo looks like

Ozlo is a large adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
