How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Adozioni del cuore e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rocky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Adozioni del cuore e.V. 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 Rocky 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 Rocky 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 Adozioni del cuore e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocky 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 (DE). 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.

Adopt Rocky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 14 years

Name: Rocky. Breed: Mix. Age: born July 2012. Gender: male. Size: 40 cm / 8 kg. Neutered: male / neutered. Location / Country: Italy. Description: Rocky – older male dog seeking a home… The story of Rocky, an older male dog, is very sad and at the same time makes one angry at the people who treated him this way. Rocky had to spend his entire life on the balcony of an Italian apartment building, receiving food and water but no love. Now, his life should completely change, and Rocky should get a wonderful forever home! Currently, Rocky lives with a kind animal rescuer. He gets along very well with the other dogs there and enjoys the company of fellow animals of both genders as much as he enjoys playing and running around on the spacious grounds. Rocky loves to play, romp, and have fun. He is a joyful nature. What stands out particularly is how much Rocky enjoys being with people. The sweet dog follows the animal rescuer everywhere! Rocky wants to be close to her at all times and enjoys every pet and caress. Rocky is not a young pup anymore. But Rocky is fit and quite active. Now, it would be the greatest thing for this already somewhat older furry nose to find loving humans where he can find love, protection, security, and a warm place forever. Intrigued by Rocky? We look forward to your message for him! Cat-friendly: unknown. Compatible with fellow animals: with male dogs, with female dogs. Contact person: Frau Gerlinde Kolubka. Email: « Carlo (von Giovanna) Eva ». Gets along with other dogs.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Adozioni del cuore e.V. in Wedel.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
