Adopt Zara

Pit Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Compatible with males, to be tested with females Story: "I am Zara and together with my companion Zorro we came from wrong experiences. We were away from knowing what a family really is... we heard about it, but obviously we never were part of it! We thought we were but it wasn't like that... because family means that no one is left behind, alone, forgotten or abandoned. We were, we were left behind! A plastic collar around the neck, tied in front of the dog shelter and you ran away! In less than a month, my eyes started to smile again, thanks to the veterinarians and volunteers who are taking care of my body and our soul! Now I am ready to look for a home.... a real one, maybe together with my companion of misfortunes! It would make us happy to be adopted as a pair because at the moment of abandonment we were each other's strength, united even in the pain of not being able to love our puppies because they took even that from us!"

compatibile con i maschi, da testare con le femmine Storia: “Io sono Zara e insieme al mio compagno Zorro venivamo da esperienze sbagliate. Siamo stati lontani da sapere cosa sia realmente una famiglia…ne abbiamo sentito parlare, ma evidentemente non ne abbiamo mai fatto parte! Lo credevamo ma non era così…perché famiglia vuol dire che nessuno viene lasciato indietro, solo, dimenticato o abbandonato. Noi si, noi lo siamo stati! Un cappio di plastica al collo, legati davanti al canile e via, sei scappato via! In meno di un mese, i miei occhi hanno ricominciato a sorridere, grazie ai veterinari e ai volontari che si stanno occupando del mio corpo e della nostra anima! Ora sono pronta a cercare casa….una vera, magari insieme al mio compagno di disavventure! Ci farebbe piacere essere adottati in coppia perché nel momento dell’abbandono siamo stati l’uno la forza dell’altro, uniti anche nel dolore di non aver potuto amare i nostri cuccioli perché ci hanno privato anche di questo!”

About Zara

What life with Zara looks like

Zara is a medium-sized young adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at GLI INVISIBILI — Canili Rifugio Cosenza in Cosenza.

An 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 Zara, answered.

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