Rocki

Male

I am an adult male, weighing 13.4 kg, with a medium length golden fawn coat. I am neutered and of medium size. My story: I am a vaccinated and microchipped mixed breed who has been a victim of tragic events. The shelter took me in because I had nowhere else to go. I am not young, but I am eager to live, go for walks, and appreciate pets and kind words. I was used to staying indoors and know how to behave well in any situation. I am gentle on a leash and calm in the car, and I enjoy the company of humans, but not that of my own kind. For those who want to share my calm and devoted presence, I am here, hoping to find a home and some affection. My photos are attached.

About Rocki

What life with Rocki looks like

Rocki is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Rifugio di Travacò in Italy.

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 Rocki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocki?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio di Travacò handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocki if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio di Travacò 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rocki 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 Rocki 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 Rifugio di Travacò early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocki 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.
