How do I contact the shelter about Quiryn?

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

Can I adopt Quiryn 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 Quiryn 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 Quiryn 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 Quiryn 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.

Quiryn

Unknown · Young · 3 years

Quiryn is a sweet little dog with a big heart and eyes full of hope. A dachshund mix, he’s medium-small in size and was presumably born in January 2023. He’s been living in a shelter for some time now, having been abandoned during the winter of 2026. He’s a real treasure: initially a bit shy, but it takes very little to melt his heart and win his complete trust. He’s sociable, curious, and always ready to shower others with affection. He gets along well with everyone—both males and females—and thanks to his gentle nature, he quickly wins the love of anyone who meets him. His appearance is irresistible: an elongated body, short legs, and a little face that brings smiles—truly a “dachshund-sized bundle of happiness”! Quiryn dreams only of a family that will open their hearts to him and finally give him the peaceful life he deserves. Maybe you’re exactly the person he’s been waiting for. He’s currently at a private, affiliated shelter in the province of Rome, but we can also place him in the north, following the necessary pre-adoption checks. He’s vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested negative for leishmaniasis, and of course, microchipped.

IT·Show original

Quiryn è un tenero cagnolino dal cuore grande e dagli occhi pieni di speranza. Derivato bassotto, taglia medio-piccola, nato presumibilmente a gennaio 2023, da tempo vive in canile dopo essere stato abbandonato nell’inverno del 2026. È un piccolo tesoro: inizialmente un po’ timido, ma basta davvero poco perché si sciolga e si affidi con tutto se stesso. È socievole, curioso e sempre pronto a donare affetto. Va d’accordo con tutti, maschi e femmine, e con il suo carattere dolce riesce a farsi voler bene da chiunque lo incontri. Il suo aspetto è irresistibile: corpo allungato, zampette corte e un musetto che strappa sorrisi — un vero “bassottino formato felicità”! Quiryn sogna solo una famiglia che gli apra il cuore e gli regali finalmente la vita serena che merita. Forse sei proprio tu la persona che stava aspettando. 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 Quiryn

What life with Quiryn looks like

Quiryn is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An 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.
