Ragu'

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Male 4 years Old Large Size Very Good and Intelligent Neutered Ragù, of large size, is a very shy, very good, playful dog, but he is very scared of humans. Recovered in a forest with his brother, when he was just a puppy. Lives in the kennel together with males and females, gets along with almost everyone.... He has never been adopted, has never had a family, does not know what cuddles and the warmth of a family, a house and a garden are... Ragù is ideal for families and people who have experience, who know how to get him back to human contact, he is making many steps forward, but certainly an approach at home with his family followed by a behaviorist would be ideal!!! He is a large size dog, needs to find a house with ample space, garden, can be adopted by families that already have animals, but it's enough that they are balanced dogs that welcome him happily!!!!

IT·Show original

Ragu’ Maschio 4 anni circa Taglia Grande Molto Buono e Intelligente Sterilizzato Ragù, di taglia grande, è un cane molto timido, buonissimo, giocherellone, ma è molto spaventato dall’essere umano. Recuperato in un bosco col fratello, quando era solo un cucciolo. Vive nel box assieme a maschi e femmine, va d’accordo quasi con tutti…. Non è mai stato adottato, non ha mai avuto una famiglia, non sa cosa siano le coccole e il calore di una famiglia, di una casetta e di un giardino… Ragù è ideale per famiglie e persone che hanno esperienza, che sappiano come fare a riavvicinarlo all’essere umano, sta facendo molti passi in avanti, ma certamente un approccio a casa con la sua famiglia seguiti da un comportamentalista sarebbe ideale!!! E’ un cane di taglia grande, ha bisogno di trovare una casetta con ampio spazio, giardino, può essere adottato da famiglie che hanno già animali, ma basta che siano cani equilibrati che lo accolgano felicemente!!!!

About Ragu'

What life with Ragu' looks like

Ragu' is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Nati Liberi Versilia in Versilia (Lucca).

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 Ragu', answered.

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