How do I contact the shelter about Sagitta?

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 Sagitta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sagitta 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 Sagitta 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 Sagitta 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 Sagitta 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.

Sagitta

Unknown · Young · 2 years

A little puppy so desperately in need of a home! She is Sagitta and was born in April 2024. Behind her attentive gaze lies a very sensitive soul that approaches the world with great caution. New situations and things she doesn't know about scare her, and when she feels vulnerable, she tries to protect herself by keeping her distance. But with a calm, patient, and reassuring approach, Sagitta gradually learns to trust and rely on others. She walks on a leash, and when she feels safe, she is capable of seeking contact and interactions. However, she needs a sensitive and aware person who is ready to accompany her through her moments of uncertainty. Sagitta is looking for someone who can teach her, day by day, that the world can be a safe place. She is in a private, conventionally operated dog shelter in the province of Rome but we can also place her in the north after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, and she is vaccinated, sterilized, tested for leishmaniasis, and of course, microchipped.

Una cagnolotta tanto bisognosa di trovare casa! Lei è Sagitta ed è nata ad aprile del 2024. Dietro il suo sguardo attento si nasconde un’anima molto sensibile, che affronta il mondo con tanta cautela. Le novità e le situazioni che non conosce la spaventano e, quando si sente in difficoltà, cerca di proteggersi tenendo le distanze. Ma con un approccio calmo, paziente e rassicurante, Sagitta riesce piano piano a fidarsi e ad affidarsi. Cammina al guinzaglio e, quando si sente al sicuro, è capace anche di cercare il contatto e le interazioni. Ha bisogno però di una persona sensibile e consapevole, pronta ad accompagnarla nei suoi momenti di incertezza. Sagitta cerca qualcuno che le insegni, giorno dopo giorno, che il mondo può essere un posto sicuro. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Sagitta

What life with Sagitta looks like

Sagitta is a 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.
