Sasha

Female · Adult · 4 years

Hello everyone! 🐾 Let me introduce myself: my name is Sasha, I’m a very sweet little mixed-breed dog born around June 2022, and I’m quite small (10 kg). I’m very affectionate, calm and easy-going. I love being around people, being cuddled and enjoying peaceful moments next to those who care for me. I have a gentle and friendly nature and I get along well with both dogs and cats. 🩷 Unfortunately, my story hasn’t been easy. Just a few months ago, I was found with severe acid burns on my face. Thanks to the intervention of a kind-hearted person, I received the necessary treatment and began my healing journey. During my recovery, I underwent thorough veterinary examinations, diagnostic tests and vaccinations, finally receiving all the care I deserved. The tests revealed a particular shape of my hind paws, a congenital malformation I was likely born with. Because of this, my gait is a bit different from other dogs, but it doesn’t cause me pain and doesn’t stop me from living a happy life. Maybe I’m not the ideal companion for long hikes, but I’m perfect for anyone looking for a loyal, loving and calm friend. I love life, people and the company of other animals. I behave well in the transport crate and travel calmly by car. I am currently in Albania and can travel for a good adoption or a safe foster placement throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. 👉 I am regularly dewormed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and negative for Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Dirofilaria, brucellosis and Leishmania. 👉 Adoption only with adoption contract, adoption fee and home check (RBU included). 📝 Foster/adoption form: 📞 🇮🇹 Chiara (WhatsApp) – 🇬🇧 Chiara (WhatsApp only) – 🇩🇪 Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Sasha

What life with Sasha looks like

Sasha is a small adult dog waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

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 Sasha, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sasha?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Furry Rescue Italy handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sasha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sasha if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Furry Rescue Italy 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 Sasha 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 Sasha 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 Furry Rescue Italy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sasha 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 (EN). 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.
