Despite her traumatic past, Vicky is full of love for people. She embodies resilience and sweetness, ready to give her heart to anyone willing to embrace her. We are searching for a family that will shower her with affection, attention, and provide her with a cozy dog bed to rest her weary head. At 8 years old and about 55 cm tall, Vicky is a true sweetheart who deserves a second chance at happiness. If you can offer her the love she has longed for, please consider bringing Vicky into your home. 🇬🇧

About VICKY

What life with VICKY looks like

VICKY is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Fata in Italy.

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 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 VICKY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about VICKY?: 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 VICKY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt VICKY 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 VICKY, 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 VICKY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for VICKY. 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 VICKY 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 VICKY 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.
