About Falkor
What life with Falkor looks like
Falkor is a medium-sized senior pit bull terrier dog waiting at Canile della Muratella in Rome.
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.
๐ฎ๐นAdopting 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 Falkor, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Falkor?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile della Muratella handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Falkor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt Falkor if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ Canile della Muratella 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 โฌ100โโฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
- Is Falkor 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 โ ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
- What happens if Falkor isn't the right fit?
- Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Canile della Muratella early rather than rehoming privately; they know Falkor 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 โ 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.
