How do I contact the shelter about Victorina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione ALFA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Victorina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Victorina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA 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 Victorina 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 Victorina 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 Associazione ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Victorina 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.

Victorina

Unknown

Sweet small female dog, shy but not forever: looking for a patient and special human! Ladies and gentlemen, meet the escape artist, the queen of 'don't touch me', the world champion of hide and seek! She is Victorina. A small-medium breton, she gets along with other dogs, both females and males, born in 2015, entered the dog shelter back in 2019, this sweet and reserved lady needs to regain trust in humans. If you try to touch her, her reaction will be elegant but clear: a gentle attempt to disappear and run to hide. No aggression, just a heart that has yet to learn to beat next to someone. We are looking for a patient, calm and determined adopter, a person who understands that love is earned step by step. Someone willing to respect her pace, without expecting immediate cuddles, but with the joy of building, day by day, a relationship based on trust and respect. If you have a big heart and the desire to welcome such a delicate soul, contact us: she may not be ready to come to you, but perhaps you are exactly the person who will manage to win her over! She is located in a private affiliated dog shelter in Basilicata and we place her both in Lazio and in the North, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and of course with a microchip.

Dolce cagnolina diffidente, ma non per sempre: cercasi umano paziente e speciale! Signore e signori, ecco a voi l’artista della fuga, la regina del ‘non-mi-toccare’, la campionessa mondiale di nascondino! Lei è Victorina. Derivato bretoncina di taglia medio piccola, va d’accordo con gli altri cani, sia femmine, sia maschi, classe 2015, entrata in canile nel lontano 2019, questa dolce e riservata signorina ha necessità di ritrovare la fiducia negli umani. Se provate a toccarla, la sua reazione sarà elegante ma chiara: un gentile tentativo di smaterializzarsi e correre a nascondersi. Niente aggressività, solo un cuore che ancora non ha imparato a battere accanto a qualcuno. Cerchiamo per lei un adottante paziente, tranquillo e determinato, una persona che capisca che l’amore si conquista a piccoli passi. Qualcuno disposto a rispettare i suoi tempi, senza aspettarsi coccole immediate, ma con la gioia di costruire, giorno dopo giorno, una relazione basata su fiducia e rispetto. Se hai un cuore grande e la voglia di accogliere un’anima così delicata, contattaci: lei potrebbe non essere pronta a venire da te, ma chissà, forse sei proprio tu la persona che riuscirà a conquistarla! Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in Basilicata e la affidiamo sia nel Lazio sia al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Victorina

What life with Victorina looks like

Victorina is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

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.
