Adopt Solidea

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Solidea is a wonderful Abruzzese shepherd dog, 9 years old, who carries a story of suffering and rebirth. She was found on the street, tied to a huge chain that showed signs of a past of deprivation and abuse. Her body was affected by mange and rickettsia, but her spirit, although marked, never broke. Solidea has shown incredible strength in overcoming difficulties. Thanks to the loving care received at the animal shelter, she has been treated and put back in good health, although her past has left scars not only physical, but also emotional. Today Solidea is a majestic dog, with a character that reflects her resilience and need to feel protected. Despite everything, Solidea has a big heart and knows how to appreciate human presence, but requires patience and respect. Her story has made her distrustful, but with the right approach, she is capable of forming deep bonds with those who show her love and dedication. We are looking for a heart adoption or a sponsorship for Solidea, to ensure her everything she needs to live a peaceful life. Her age and past make a traditional placement difficult, but your support can help us offer her a dignified and caring future. Supporting Solidea means valuing the resilience and courage of a dog who has faced darkness and deserves only light. Do you want to be part of her rebirth? Give a home and a second chance to a heart full of love that is waiting only for you!

Solidea è una splendida pastora abruzzese di 9 anni, che porta con sé una storia di sofferenza e rinascita. È stata trovata in strada, legata a una catena enorme che portava segni di un passato di privazioni e abusi. Il suo corpo era provato dalla rogna e dalla rickettsia, ma il suo spirito, seppur segnato, non si è mai spezzato. Solidea ha dimostrato una forza incredibile nel superare le difficoltà. Grazie alle cure amorevoli ricevute nel rifugio, è stata curata e rimessa in salute, anche se il suo passato ha lasciato cicatrici non solo fisiche, ma anche emotive. Oggi Solidea è una cagnolona maestosa, con un carattere che riflette la sua resilienza e il bisogno di sentirsi protetta. Nonostante tutto, Solidea ha un cuore grande e sa apprezzare la presenza umana, ma richiede pazienza e rispetto. La sua storia l’ha resa diffidente, ma con il giusto approccio è capace di creare legami profondi con chi le dimostra amore e dedizione. Cerchiamo per Solidea un’adozione del cuore o un’adozione a distanza, per garantirle tutto ciò di cui ha bisogno per vivere una vita serena. La sua età e il suo passato rendono difficile una collocazione tradizionale, ma il tuo supporto può aiutarci a offrirle un futuro dignitoso e pieno di cure. Sostenere Solidea significa dare valore alla resilienza e al coraggio di un cane che ha affrontato l’oscurità e merita solo luce. Vuoi essere parte della sua rinascita? Regala una casa e una seconda possibilità a un cuore pieno d’amore che aspetta solo te!

About Solidea

What life with Solidea looks like

Solidea is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Associazione Cani Liberi - Rifugio Canalba in Alba Adriatica TE.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Solidea, answered.

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