Tequila

Female · Adult · 5 years

Tequila is a small female dog who is good but initially shy. She needs time to become familiar with people and learn to trust them. She is suitable for families with children (provided they are respectful towards animals, not young children). The presence of another male dog (after a trial) would greatly help her overcome her fears. Not suitable for female dogs, to be evaluated with cats. She is not suitable for highly urbanized areas and a secure house with a garden is preferred. NOT SUITABLE AS A FIRST EXPERIENCE.

IT·Show original

Tequila è una cagnolina buona ma timida inizialmente, ha bisogno di tempo per prendere confidenza con le persone e imparare a fidarsi. Adatta anche a famiglie con ragazzini (purché rispettosi verso gli animali, no bimbi piccoli). La presenza di un altro cane maschio (previa prova) l’aiuterebbe molto a superare le sue paure. NO cani femmine, da valutare con i gatti. Non è adatta a contesti troppo urbanizzati ed è preferibile una casa con giardino in sicurezza. NON ADATTA COME PRIMA ESPERIENZA.

About Tequila

What life with Tequila looks like

Tequila is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at L'Arca di Piera.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Tequila, answered.

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