Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Tata is a young mixed-breed shepherd from 2022 who came to us as a puppy and has grown up in the shelter. She is incredibly sociable and adores cuddling, and she picks up on new games quickly. Her lively spirit shines through, and it's heartbreaking to see her confined to a kennel when she deserves a loving home. As she has grown up in the shelter, we've observed that Tata can sometimes be a bit rough with smaller dogs, playing a bit aggressively. While this behavior can be common in the shelter environment, we believe that with the right family, Tata will thrive and become more balanced. She longs for a family to love her and to share her joy with.

TATA Per contattarci manda un messagio 🇮🇪Tata è una giovane pastorella meticcia del 2022 che è arrivata da noi da cucciola e è cresciuta in canile. È incredibilmente socievole e adora le coccole, e impara rapidamente i nuovi giochi. Il suo spirito vivace brilla e fa davvero male vederla rinchiusa in un box quando merita una casa piena d’amore.Crescendo in canile, abbiamo notato che Tata a volte può essere un po' brusca con i cani più piccoli, giocando in modo un po' aggressivo. Sebbene questo comportamento possa essere comune nell'ambiente del rifugio, crediamo che con la famiglia giusta Tata possa prosperare e diventare più equilibrata. Desidera ardentemente una famiglia che la ami e con cui condividere la sua gioia. 🇬🇧Tata is a young half-breed shepherdess from 2022 who came to us as a puppy and has grown up in the shelter.

About TATA

What life with TATA looks like

TATA is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Fata in Italy.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting TATA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TATA?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Rifugio Fata handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TATA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TATA if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Rifugio Fata whether they will for TATA, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is TATA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for TATA. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Rifugio Fata, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if TATA isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Rifugio Fata about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know TATA 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.
