Shrek

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 3 years

It could be described as a mix between a Rottweiler and a Bordeaux Mastiff, but one thing is certain, our Shrek is a big softie! Around 2 or 3 years old, this wonderful big dog is extremely friendly and approachable with everyone, he wants to play and be spoiled by anyone who enters his pen. He is just waiting for someone to take him home to play with him and spoil him every day!

IT·Show original

Lo si potrebbe descrivere come un mix tra un rottweiler e un dogue de bordeaux, ma quello che è certo è che il nostro Shrek è un grosso pacioccone! Di circa 2 o 3 anni, questo bellissimo cagnone è estremamente socievole e amichevole con tutti, vuole giocare e farsi coccolare da chiunque entri nel suo box. Aspetta solo qualcuno che se lo porti a casa per giocare con lui e coccolarlo tutti i giorni!

About Shrek

What life with Shrek looks like

Shrek is a large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Associazione Nati Liberi in Caserta.

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 Shrek, answered.

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