Then contact Rifugio San Francesco directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Rifugio San Francesco handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

Can I adopt from Rifugio San Francesco if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Rifugio San Francesco typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.

Rifugio San Francesco is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Rifugio San Francesco?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Rifugio San Francesco directly. Typical fees in Italy cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Rifugio San Francesco via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
