Passa a trovarci

Unknown

In the Genova Sestri Ponente neighborhood, from Via Merano take Via Sant'Alberto (very narrow). After about 500 meters of ascent, at the first sharp left bend, at the height of Bar IL SOGNO, do not turn left but continue straight ahead, heading towards Santuario del Monte Gazzo. After 50 meters, after crossing the small bridge over Rio Molinassi, turn right and take Via Rollino. Continue climbing for a couple of kilometers, following the stops of line 51, until the terminus. At the terminus, located on a very wide hairpin bend, take the road on the left, with the sign "dog shelter del Monte Gazzo". In five hundred meters you will arrive at the animal shelter. Park your car in the dedicated area, just before the steep climb leading to the gate of the animal shelter and walk a few meters. Taking line 51, go all the way to the terminus at Via Rollino. At the terminus, take the road on the left, with the sign "dog shelter del Monte Gazzo". In five hundred meters you will arrive at the animal shelter. Volunteer hours in summer:

About Passa a trovarci

What life with Passa a trovarci looks like

Passa a trovarci is a adult dog waiting at Rifugio del Gazzo in Genova.

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 Passa a trovarci, answered.

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