Zuma

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Potete leggerequi la sua storia a lieto fine. Data presunta di nascita: Giugno 2021 Di 4cuccioli solo una ha, fortunatamente, trovato famiglia dopo ben 3 anni vissuti al rifugio… per gli altri, il nulla. La nostra speranza non si spegne mai, ma temiamo che questi cani siano entrati cuccioli e passeranno la vita e la vecchiaia tra le stesse mura senza conoscere il calore di una casa e l’affetto di una famiglia. Si accontentano di poche carezze al giorno che i volontari possono offrire, la vita in canile è una vita ricca di stress e di mancanze, vorremmo vederli liberi di esprimersi e di fare tutte le esperienze che meritano di fare. Zuma é femmina, taglia media, sterilizzata.

About Zuma

What life with Zuma looks like

Zuma is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Lega del Cane Palermo in Italy.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zuma, answered.

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