Zampa

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Ciao sono Zampa, a small mixed-breed dog born on January 1, 2015. I have a slightly crooked paw and because of this I walk in a somewhat funny way, but I have a nice character, I am a bit shy at first but with a bit of patience I become very affectionate. I like the garden, but I love sleeping in my warm bed. I really want to have a family for myself, to give and receive the love I deserve. Come meet me!

Ciao sono Zampa, una meticcia di taglia piccola nata il 01 gennaio 2015. Ho una zampetta un po’ storta e per questo cammino in maniera un po’ buffa, ma ho un bel caratterino, sono un po’ timida inizialmente ma con un po’ di pazienza divento molto affettuosa. Mi piace il giardino, ma adoro dormire nella mia cuccia calda. Ho tanta voglia di avere una famiglia per me, donare e ricevere l’amore che merito. Vieni a conoscermi !

About Zampa

What life with Zampa looks like

Zampa is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Canile di Comacchio in Italy.

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 Zampa, answered.

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