Serafina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Serafina is 3 years old, of medium build, and exudes an infinite sweetness. She was found wandering in the countryside and as soon as she was discovered, she approached as if she had always known us. She is of a calm nature with everyone. Upon her discovery, we noticed she was a bit lame in her hind legs. The veterinarian believes that the possible fracture she may have sustained in the past (now calcified) is likely due to an accident. As visible in the attached videos, she has no difficulty in movement. She is in Sardinia but we are also considering adoption outside the island. She is a small female dog compatible with any reality in which she can be loved and respected. For information and only for those genuinely interested: Flavia 393/9515573. Email: . Website: www.zampesarde.it. Fill out the online adoption request form only if you are convinced to submit the request.

IT·Show original

Serafina ha 3 anni, tg media ed è finita dolcezza infinita. È stata ritrovata vagante in campagna e non appena individuata si è avvicinata subito come se ci conoscesse da sempre. Lei è di indole tranquilla con tutti. Al momento del ritrovamento abbiamo constatato che fosse un po’ zoppa nella parte posteriore. L’eventuale frattura che può aver subito in passato(;ormai calcificata) è probabilmente dovuto ad un investimento secondo il veterinario. Come è visibile dai video allegati, non ha difficoltà nel movimento. Si trova in Sardegna ma valutiamo anche adozione fuori dall’ isola. È una cagnolina compatibile con ogni realtà in cui possa essere amata e rispettata. Per info e solo interessati: Flavia 393/9515573. Email: . Sito: www.zampesarde.it. Compilare il modulo di richiesta di adozione online solo se convinti di presentare la richiesta.

About Serafina

What life with Serafina looks like

Serafina is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zampesarde in Italy.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Serafina, answered.

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