Adopt Zenzero

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

He is the beautiful Zenzero, 2 years old, sociable with people and generally compatible with other dogs, preferably females, although like everyone he has his preferences. He hasn't had many experiences in the past, but he has great learning abilities and with the right guidance he can grow a lot. He is curious, attentive and ready to build deep bonds with those who respect him and accompany him with patience. For Zenzero we are looking for an aware family, willing to follow a getting-to-know process before and after his insertion into the home. Don't let him wait any longer: Zenzero needs his opportunity, his home, someone who chooses to walk alongside him 💛 What are you waiting for? Come and meet him!

Lui è il bellissimo Zenzero, 2 anni, socievole con le persone e generalmente compatibile con altri cani, meglio se femmine, anche se come tutti ha le sue preferenze. Non ha avuto molte esperienze in passato, ma possiede grandi capacità di apprendimento e con la guida giusta può crescere tantissimo. È curioso, attento e pronto a costruire legami profondi con chi lo rispetta e lo accompagna con pazienza. Per Zenzero cerchiamo una famiglia consapevole delle sue caratteristiche, disponibile a seguire un percorso conoscitivo prima e dopo l’inserimento a casa. Non lasciamolo aspettare ancora: Zenzero ha bisogno della sua opportunità, della sua casa, di qualcuno che scelga di camminare al suo fianco 💛 Cosa aspetti? 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐢 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐫lo!

About Zenzero

What life with Zenzero looks like

Zenzero is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at OIPA Italy in Rome.

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 Zenzero, answered.

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