Riccardino

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

April 23, 2019 - Our little one is recovering very well, he is still hospitalized but as soon as the vaccination protocol allows it, he will be able to play with his friends. Riccardino the mischievous one thanks all the friends who will help us cover the costs for the operation and his treatment. April 11, 2019 - Our big mischievous one is doing well, he eats, plays and yells. He is a wonderful small dog but mischievous like few others. The recovery continues... April 10, 2019 - Riccardino left the clinic today, he will continue his hospitalization in our clinic. He is a real fireball, he has so much will to live and like all puppies, he loves to play and receive cuddles. He has a new friend beside him and as soon as he arrived, he scolded him immediately. In short, Riccardino is really special. Thank you to those who support us. Without your help we could not do all this. It is only thanks to the help of special people that every day we can face these emergencies. Click on the photos to enlarge them! April 9, 2019 - Today the little one underwent surgery for the amputation of his paw, unfortunately it was completely necrotic. It is suspected that the trauma was caused by a snare set by poachers. The wound was so clean as to support the veterinarian's opinion. Unfortunately, this is a common practice in certain areas, using tools to hunt rabbits and hares. Naturally, it is an illegal method. The suffering of Riccardino is unimaginable. He is hospitalized in the clinic and we thank anyone who can help us cover all the expenses we will have to face. We reiterate that in Olbia, unlike Sassari and Oristano, there is no agreement with veterinary clinics and we can treat these animals only thanks to donations. Riccardino is a precious puppy. April 8, 2019 - Our little potato is doing well, he eats beautifully and is as mischievous as no one else. The post-operative is proceeding well. He cuddles up next to his new friend, sometimes he scolds him and then goes to sleep next to him. Riccardino is a special child. April 8, 2019 - We received a request for help for a small dog found on the roadside, with a mangled leg. The girl who rescued him was shocked, cars passed by and no one stopped to help her. Many people saw this ball of fur but no one moved a finger. How many bad things are done by the lack of sensitivity. Riccardino is two months old. His paw is necrotic, attached only by a flap of skin, full of worms, with a nauseating smell. The puppy is weakened, who knows how long he has been in this condition. The first treatments were provided and the wound was cleaned from the unwanted guests. Impossible to forget his desperate look. Help us, we really need it.

23-04-2019 - IIl nostro piccino si sta rimettendo alla grande, è ancora è in degenza ma appena la profilassi vaccinale lo permetterà anche lui potrà giocare con i suoi amichetti. Riccardino il monellino ringrazia gli amici che ci aiuteranno a coprire i costi per l'intervento e le sue cure. 11-04-2019 - Il nostro monello grande sta bene, mangia gioca e strilla. E' un cagnolino meraviglioso ma monello come pochi. La convalescenza prosegue... 10-04-2019 - Riccardino oggi è uscito dalla clinica, continuerà la degenza nel nostro ambulatorio. E' un peperino che non immaginate, ha tanta ma tanta voglia di vivere e come tutti i cuccioli ama giocare e le coccole. Ha un nuovo amico accanto e appena arrivato lo ha subito sgridato. Insomma Riccardino è veramente speciale. Grazie a chi ci sostiene. Senza il vostro aiuto noi non potremmo fare tutto questo. E' SOLO GRAZIE ALL' AIUTO DI PERSONE SPECIALI CHE OGNI GIORNO POSSIAMO AFFRONTARE QUESTE EMERGENZE. Clicca sulle foto per ingrandirle! 09-04-2019 - Oggi il piccolino è stato sottoposto ad intervento per l'amputazione della zampetta, purtroppo era completamente in necrosi. Si sospetta che il trauma sia stato causato da un laccio messo da bracconieri. La ferita era talmente netta tale da suffragare il pensiero del veterinario. Purtroppo è prassi comune in certe zone, usare degli attrezzi per cacciare lepri e conigli. Naturalmente è un mezzo illegale. La sofferenza di Riccardino è inimmaginabile. E' ricoverato in clinica e ringraziamo chiunque potrà aiutarci a sopperire a tutte le spese che dovremo affrontare. Ribadiamo che ad Olbia, a differenza di Sassari e Oristano, non esiste nessuna convenzione con cliniche veterinarie e noi possiamo curare queste creature solo grazie alle donazioni. Riccardino è un tesoro di cucciolo.. 08-04-2019 - Il nostro patatino sta bene, mangia che è una bellezza ed monello come nessuno. Il post operatorio procede bene. Lui si accoccola vicino al suo nuovo amichetto, ogni tanto lo sgrida e poi si mette vicino a lui a fare la nanna. Riccardino è un bimbo speciale. 08-04-2019 - Abbiamo ricevuto una richiesta di aiuto per un cagnolino riverso sul ciglio della strada a scorrimento veloce, con una zampa maciullata. La ragazza che lo ha soccorso è rimasta scioccata, le macchine le passavano accanto e nessuno si è fermato per aiutarla. In tanti hanno visto questa pallina di pelo ma nessuno ha mosso un dito. Quante cose brutte fa fare la mancanza di sensibilità. Riccardino avrà due mesi. La zampetta è in necrosi, attaccata solo tramite un lembo di pelle, piena di vermi, con un odore nauseabondo. Il cucciolo è debilitato, chissà da quanto è in questo stato. Gli sono state prestate le prime cure e pulita la ferita dagli ospiti indesiderati. Impossibile dimenticare il suo sguardo disperato. Aiutateci, ne abbiamo proprio bisogno.

About Riccardino

What life with Riccardino looks like

Riccardino is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at L.I.D.A. Olbia in Olbia.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Riccardino, answered.

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