Plutarco

Unknown · Senior · 9 years

The kind large dog who really wants to get out of the dog shelter's confinement! Plutarco, a molosser labrador, large size, born in May 2017, affectionate, gentle, sociable and confident with people, good on the leash. He spends his endless days of boredom and loneliness in a single box at the dog shelter. He is indeed not compatible with other dogs in this context. The stress of being confined causes him to develop stress dermatitis. He is currently in a private dog shelter affiliated in the province of Rome but we also adopt him to the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, neutered, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

About Plutarco

What life with Plutarco looks like

Plutarco is a large senior dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Plutarco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Plutarco?
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 Plutarco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Plutarco 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 Plutarco 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 Plutarco 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 Plutarco 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.
