Adopting from Rome

How do I adopt an animal from Canile della Muratella?

Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Canile della Muratella directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Canile della Muratella handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Can I adopt from Canile della Muratella 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. Canile della Muratella 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.

Is Canile della Muratella a verified shelter on TailHarbor?

Canile della Muratella 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 Canile della Muratella?

TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Canile della Muratella directly. Typical fees in Italy cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Canile della Muratella via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
