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.

Rocky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Emergency Name: Rocky. Breed: Bretone Mix. Age: born 01.07.2018. Gender: male. Size: 53 cm / 25 kg. Neutered: male / neutered. Location / Country: Italy. Description **Rocky – a second chance for a big dog heart** Sometimes it takes an angel to bring hope back to a forgotten dog. Olivia, our dedicated animal welfare volunteer in Italy, is just such a person. She took Rocky in when he had no place left in life – and gave him love and security for the first time. Rocky, a beautiful Bretone mix with black-and-white fur and gentle eyes, hasn't always been fortunate. He used to live with an elderly gentleman who barely cared for him. Too often, Rocky was alone, locked behind bars. But he never gave up. With Olivia, he blossomed: he is an extremely loving and affectionate dog, grateful for every bit of attention. He is gentle and patient with children, and gets along perfectly with his fellow animals. He walks well on a leash, travels by car without issues, and enjoys the company of his dog friends. But as wonderful as his new life is – Rocky deserves more. He dreams of a loving **"forever home"**, of people who can give him security and a sense of belonging. A home where he is cherished as a family member and can finally settle in. Rocky is waiting. Every day he hopes that his soulmate will find him. Maybe you are it? A dog changes your life – in the most beautiful way. There is hardly anything more valuable than a dog's unconditional love. He accompanies you through highs and lows, is always by your side, and brings you joy every day. A loyal gaze, a gentle touch with his paw, his cheerful tail wagging – all of this makes even the grayest days brighter. With a dog like Rocky, you gain not only a companion but a true friend for life. Please contact us. For Rocky at Olivia: Cat-friendly: unknown. Compatible with fellow animals: with male dogs, with female dogs. Contact person: Frau Gerlinde Kolubka. Email: « Pierrot Daisy ». Gets along with other dogs.

NOTFALL Name: Rocky. Rasse: Bretone MixAlter: geboren 01.07.2018. Geschlecht: männlichGröße: 53 cm / 25 kg. Kastriert/Sterilisiert: männlich / kastriert Aufenthalts Ort / Land: Italien Beschreibung **Rocky – eine zweite Chance für ein großes Hundeherz** Manchmal braucht es einen Engel, um einem vergessenen Hund wieder Hoffnung zu schenken. Olivia, unsere engagierte Tierschutz-Helferin in Italien, ist genau so ein Mensch. Sie nahm Rocky auf, als er keinen Platz mehr im Leben hatte – und schenkte ihm zum ersten Mal Liebe und Geborgenheit. Rocky, ein wunderschöner Bretone-Mix mit schwarz-weißem Fell und sanften Augen, hat nicht immer Glück gehabt. Früher lebte er bei einem älteren Herrn, der sich kaum um ihn kümmerte. Viel zu oft war Rocky allein, eingesperrt hinter Gittern. Doch er hat sich niemals aufgegeben. Bei Olivia blühte er auf: Er ist ein überaus lieber und anhänglicher Hund, dankbar für jede Zuwendung. Mit Kindern ist er sanft und geduldig, mit seinen Artgenossen bestens verträglich. Er läuft brav an der Leine, fährt problemlos im Auto mit und genießt die Gesellschaft seiner Hundekumpel. Aber so schön sein neues Leben auch ist – Rocky verdient mehr. Er träumt von einem liebevollen **„Für immer Zuhause“**, von Menschen, die ihm Geborgenheit und Zugehörigkeit schenken. Ein Zuhause, in dem er als Familienmitglied geschätzt wird und in dem er endlich ankommen darf. Rocky wartet. Jeden Tag hofft er darauf, dass sein Herzensmensch ihn findet. Vielleicht bist du es? Ein Hund verändert dein Leben – auf die schönste Weise. Es gibt kaum etwas Wertvolleres als die bedingungslose Liebe eines Hundes. Er begleitet dich durch Höhen und Tiefen, ist immer an deiner Seite und schenkt dir jeden Tag Freude. Ein treuer Blick, eine sanfte Berührung mit seiner Pfote, sein fröhliches Schwanzwedeln – all das macht selbst die grauesten Tage heller. Mit einem Hund wie Rocky gewinnt man nicht nur einen Gefährten, sondern einen echten Freund fürs Leben. Bitte melde dich bei uns. Rocky bei Olivia Katzenverträglich: unbekannt. Verträglich mit Artgenossen: mit Rüden, mit Hündinnen Ansprechpartner: Frau Gerlinde Kolubka Email: « Pierrot Daisy » Weitere Hunde

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

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

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 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.
