Taxi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Estimated date of birth: February 2013 Taxi is a sweet little dog who was abandoned at the shelter as a puppy, at just a few months old. To date he is 11 years old, and he has spent his entire life at the shelter, even though he loves cuddles, loves to play, and is a dog full of life and affection to give. We would like to show him another side of life, a positive side that fits well with his zest for living, which is instead completely stifled by life in a kennel. Taxi is male, medium-sized, and neutered. Available for adoption in Sicily, Central and Northern Italy, with pre- and post-adoption checks and signing of an adoption form. Also available for adoption at a distance.

IT·Show original

Data presunta di nascita: febbraio 2013 Taxi è un cagnolino dolcissimo abbandonato al rifugio da cucciolo a soli pochi mesi. Ad oggi ha 11 anni e li ha interamente trascorsi al rifugio, nonostante ami le coccole, ami giocare e sia un cane pieno di vita e di affetto da regalare. Ci piacerebbe fargli conoscere un altro lato della vita, un lato positivo e che si sposa bene con la sua voglia di vivere che, invece, viene totalmente mutilata dalla vita in box. Taxi è maschio, di taglia media, sterilizzato. Adottabile in Sicilia, Centro e Nord Italia con controlli pre e post affido, firma modulo d’adozione. Adottabile anche a distanza.

About Taxi

What life with Taxi looks like

Taxi is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lega del Cane Palermo in Italy.

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 Taxi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Taxi?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Lega del Cane Palermo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Taxi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Taxi if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Lega del Cane Palermo 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Taxi 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 Taxi 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 Lega del Cane Palermo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Taxi 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.
