Adoptions in Italy numbered 3,158 in 2006. The majority of these were overseas adoptions, and adoption from within Italy is relatively difficult.

There are currently 11,000 couples in Italy on the waiting lists of various adoption agencies [1].

As in most jurisdictions, prospective adoptive parents are required to undergo assessment and must show that they will make suitable parents. Italian law requires adopters to be married (or living together) for at least 3 years. There are also restrictions on the age difference between the prospective parents and the child or children they wish to adopt. Adoption by gay couples is illegal in Italy, as is adoption by lone would-be parents.

Where can I find an Mini Australian Shepard puppy or dog up for adoption?
Q. or for as little money as possible in/or near Vicenza, Italy?
Asked by tomboy_atw - Wed Jul 18 23:23:31 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have them... No puppies avaiable now! SORRY! I'm in America also! But anways... I found my breeding male on "www.puppyfind.com" You can find LOTS of very nice dogs and reputable breeders there. A shelter or pound would be ther first place to look. But there is no guarantee you would get a pure bred MINI!!! aussie. Most breeders on there will ship worldwide- weather permitting! You can get one from the USA shipped to Italy! You can find them in the Low $200's but shipping is usually more than what the dog costs. You can most likely get one for around 1000. This includes- shipping, health check (required) before flying, travel crate and of course the puppy. And for all you out there who say there aren't MINI'S! ("brownosesusan"!!!)Look… [cont.]
