Randagismo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

A video documenting one of the possible correct approaches to the issue of stray dogs in southern Italy: a possible alternative - practiced by associations and aware administrators - to the dog trade and concentration camps, in the name of coexistence that respects dogs and people. Nerone died at the end of June, after 20 years lived as a "free dog", beloved and respected, even in His right to freedom.

Un video che documenta uno dei possibili approcci corretti alle problematiche del randagismo nelle regioni del Sud Italia: un'alternativa possibile – praticata da Associazioni e amministratori consapevoli – al traffico di cani e ai canili lager, in nome di una convivenza che rispetta i cani e gli uomini. Nerone è morto a fine giugno, dopo 20 anni vissuti da “cane libero”, amatissimo e rispettato, anche nel Suo diritto alla libertà.

About Randagismo

What life with Randagismo looks like

Randagismo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Associazione Onlus Apaca in Italy.

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 Randagismo, answered.

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