Whiskey

Male · Senior · 10 years

Hello everyone! 🐾 Let me introduce myself: my name is Whiskey, I’m a very sweet little dog of small‑to‑medium size, weighing just 12 kg, and I was born in May 2016. My life hasn’t been easy… I used to be a street dog, one of those who learn to survive day after day – with little affection and days that all looked the same. Then something happened that changed everything: I was found injured. At that moment, I crossed paths with people who chose not to look away. They treated me, cared for me and took me in. I’m in Calabria, waiting for my chance to truly start over. I’m a very affectionate and energetic little dog. I love being around people and I get along well with other dogs and with cats. I have a good, friendly nature and despite everything I’ve been through, I still trust humans. ♥️ I am currently in Italy and I can travel across Europe and the United Kingdom for a good adoption or a safe foster placement. 👉 Fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and dewormed. Negative for Leishmaniasis and Brucellosis, with an EU pet passport – ready for a loving home! 👉 Adoption only with a protection contract, adoption fee and home check (RBU included). 📝 Foster/adoption form: 📞 🇮🇹 Chiara (WhatsApp) – 🇬🇧 Chiara (WhatsApp only) – 🇩🇪 Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Whiskey

What life with Whiskey looks like

Whiskey is a small senior dog waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

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.

🇮🇹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 Whiskey, answered.

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