How do I contact the shelter about Rodrigue?

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

Can I adopt Rodrigue if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA 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 Rodrigue 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 Rodrigue 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 ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rodrigue 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.

Rodrigue

Unknown · Young · 2 years

A sweet and good puppy looking for a forever home! Rodrigue is a mixed breed, future medium size, born in September 2024 in a dog shelter, along with his sisters and brothers, because he arrived in his mother's belly when she was abandoned a few days before giving birth. He is a tender puppy, just a little shy, ready to give all his love to someone who knows how to take care of him. We are looking for a person who wants to offer him a warm and welcoming home, quality food and veterinary care, lots of affection and play, walks outdoors, the possibility to grow and become a loyal life companion. He will repay with unconditional love, company for games and adventures and the satisfaction of having saved a life. Remember that adoption is an important commitment and requires responsibility. Make sure you are ready to welcome a new family member and to give him the time and attention he needs and we are available for any information. He is in a private accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place him in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home check, with a health record including deworming, vaccinations and of course with a microchip.

Un cucciolotto dolce e buono in cerca di una casa per sempre! Rodrigue è un meticcetto, futura taglia media contenuta, nato a settembre 2024 in canile, insieme alle sue sorelle e ai suoi fratelli, perché arrivato nella pancia della mamma abbandonata a pochi giorni dal parto. È un cucciolo tenero, solo un po’ intimorito, pronto a donare tutto il suo amore a chi saprà prendersi cura di lui. Cerchiamo per lui una persona che desideri offrirgli una casa calda e accogliente, cibo di qualità e cure veterinarie, tanto affetto e giochi, passeggiate all’aria aperta, la possibilità di crescere e diventare un compagno di vita fedele. Lui saprà ricambiare con amore incondizionato, compagnia per giochi ed avventure e la soddisfazione di aver salvato una vita. Ricorda che l’adozione è un impegno importante e che richiede responsabilità. Assicurati di essere pronto ad accogliere un nuovo membro in famiglia e a dedicargli il tempo e le attenzioni necessarie e noi siamo a disposizione per ogni informazione. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma lo affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, con cartella sanitaria comprendente le sverminazioni, vaccinazioni e ovviamente con microchip.

About Rodrigue

What life with Rodrigue looks like

Rodrigue is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An young 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.
