I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK ON THE STREET 💔 LILLY, ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD, MEDIUM SIZE, FOUND ABANDONED AND RESCUED FROM A HIGHWAY WHERE SHE WAS DISCOVERED ALIVE. ALL HER PUPPIES HAVE DIED. I’m Lilly, about 2 years old. I’m super sweet and get along with everyone. I love running around and being in good company. I’m a bit shy at first, but once I open up, I give kisses to everyone! I was abandoned on a highway, where I gave birth to my puppies—all of whom sadly died. Occasionally, I’d find something to eat, but never enough. Then I got pregnant again, and a kind soul came along and rescued me, bringing me to safety. I had 8 puppies, all of whom have been adopted. Now I’m staying at a shelter in Piacenza. I hope to soon have a family of my own, one that I’ll repay with lots of love and to whom I’ll remain loyal forever ❤️ ☑️Vaccinated, microchipped, spayed.

NON VOGLIO TORNARE IN STRADA💔 LILLY, 2 ANNI CIRCA, TAGLIA MEDIA, TROVATA ABBANDONATA E TOVATA IN UNA SUPERSTRADA DOVE E’ STATA TROVATA VIVA. I SUOI CUCCIOLI SONO TUTTI MORTI. Sono Lilly ho 2 anni circa, Sono dolcissima e vado d'accordo con tutti, amo correre e stare in compagnia. Sono un poco timida ma poi quando mi apro do bacini a tutti! Sono stata abbandonata in superstrada, dove ho partorito i miei cuccioli tutti morti. Ogni tanto mangiavo, ma non a sufficienza. Sono rimasta incinta di nuovo e un anima gentile mi ha salvata e messa al sicuro. Ho avuto 8 cuccioli tutti adottati. Ora mi trovo in un rifugio a Piacenza. Spero di avere presto una famiglia tutta mia che ricambierò con tanto amore e rimarrò a loro fedele per sempre❤️ ☑️Vaccinata, microchippata, sterilizzata.

About PIA

What life with PIA looks like

PIA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dimensione Animale Bergamo in Italy.

A young 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 PIA, answered.

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