Scoutie

Unknown · Young · 2 years

A wonderful dog that will win your heart at first sight! Scoutie is a large mixed-breed dog, 60 cm at the withers, born in March 2024, sociable, confident and always ready to receive affection. Gets along with other dogs, both males and females, and although not used to it, knows how to walk on a leash. A dog that wins over everyone with its natural sociability and confident character. Always ready to socialize and pay attention to the instructions given to him, he has an infectious energy that makes him the ideal companion for someone looking for a loving and dynamic friend. He is located in a private accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also adopt him to the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, neutered, vaccinated, tested for leishmaniasis and of course with a microchip.

About Scoutie

What life with Scoutie looks like

Scoutie is a large 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. 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 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 Scoutie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Scoutie?
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 Scoutie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Scoutie 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 Scoutie 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 Scoutie 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 Scoutie 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.
