Adopt Rebecca

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Rebecca is a magnificent Abruzzese shepherd dog, 6 years old, a dog that embodies the wisdom and independence typical of her breed. She is one of the most beloved mascots at the animal shelter, not only for her beauty but also for her balanced spirit and strong nature. Rebecca loves spending time outdoors, calmly observing the world around her and enjoying human company, but always respecting her space and freedom. Like many Abruzzese shepherds, Rebecca has a well-defined personality: she loves cuddles, but does not appreciate being handled for medical reasons without the proper respect. She is a faithful companion who knows how to be appreciated for her authentic character and her ability to build a deep bond with those who dedicate time and attention to her. Rebecca lives in our animal shelter in an environment designed to respect the nature of her breed. Here, Abruzzese shepherds can choose whether to remain in the enclosures or freely explore the surrounding pine forest, forming two groups that peacefully coexist. This natural setting allows them to live serenely, following their own rhythms and maintaining their dignity. We offer Rebecca an informed adoption or a sponsorship adoption: a way to ensure that she continues to receive all the care and affection she needs. Dogs like Rebecca, although young compared to older companions, bring with them a calmness and depth that only an Abruzzese shepherd can offer. Supporting Rebecca means being part of her life, respecting her nature and contributing to her well-being. Do you want to help her live fully the future she deserves? Contact us to find out how you can make a difference. Give a home and a second chance to a heart full of love that is waiting just for you!

Rebecca è una magnifica pastore abruzzese di 6 anni, un cane che incarna la saggezza e l’indipendenza tipiche della sua razza. È una delle mascotte più amate del rifugio, non solo per la sua bellezza ma anche per il suo spirito equilibrato e la sua natura forte. Rebecca ama trascorrere il suo tempo all’aria aperta, osservando con calma il mondo che la circonda e godendosi la compagnia umana, ma sempre rispettando il suo spazio e la sua libertà. Come molti pastori abruzzesi, Rebecca ha una personalità ben definita: ama le coccole, ma non gradisce essere manipolata per questioni mediche senza il giusto rispetto. È una compagna fedele che sa farsi apprezzare per il suo carattere autentico e la sua capacità di costruire un legame profondo con chi le dedica tempo e attenzione. Rebecca vive nel nostro rifugio in un ambiente pensato per rispettare la natura della sua razza. Qui, i pastori abruzzesi possono scegliere se rimanere nei recinti o esplorare liberamente la pineta circostante, formando due branchi che convivono pacificamente. Questo contesto naturale permette loro di vivere serenamente, seguendo i propri ritmi e mantenendo la loro dignità. Proponiamo per Rebecca un’adozione consapevole o un’adozione a distanza: un modo per garantire che continui a ricevere tutte le cure e l’affetto di cui ha bisogno. I cani come Rebecca, pur giovani rispetto ai compagni più anziani, portano con sé una calma e una profondità che solo un pastore abruzzese può offrire. Sostenere Rebecca significa essere parte della sua vita, rispettando la sua natura e contribuendo alla sua serenità. Vuoi aiutarla a vivere pienamente il futuro che merita? Contattaci per scoprire come fare la differenza. Regala una casa e una seconda possibilità a un cuore pieno d’amore che aspetta solo te!

About Rebecca

What life with Rebecca looks like

Rebecca is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba in Alba Adriatica TE.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Rebecca, answered.

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