Versilia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Female, about 1.5 years old, small size There is a kind of beauty that needs no description: you only have to look at her. Versilia is one of those female dogs who stop your heart for a moment. A delightful Setter, with a salt-and-pepper coat that looks hand-painted, and a gentle gaze that says more than any words could. She arrived at the shelter carrying a past that had held her tight, far too tight. But Versilia had a quiet strength inside her. And as soon as she could, she began to run again. Running happy, light, free.

Femmina di circa 1,5 anni, tg piccola C’è un tipo di bellezza che non ha bisogno di essere raccontata: basta guardarla. Versilia è una di quelle cagnoline che ti fermano il cuore per un istante. Una deliziosa setterina, dal manto sale e pepe che sembra dipinto a mano, con quello sguardo dolce che racconta più di qualsiasi parola. È arrivata in canile portandosi addosso un passato che l’aveva tenuta stretta, troppo stretta. Ma Versilia aveva una forza silenziosa dentro. E appena ha potuto, ha ricominciato a correre. Correre felice, leggera, libera.

About Versilia

What life with Versilia looks like

Versilia is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Municipale di Asti in Asti (Piemonte).

A young 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 Versilia, answered.

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