Pet adoption in Quartu Sant'Elena

Quartu Sant'Elena, Sardinia's third-largest municipality, plays a central role in addressing stray animals across the Cagliari metropolitan area. The city council runs a multi-year adoption incentive programme that grants 1,200–1,500 euro contributions to associations adopting long-stay dogs, seniors, sick or large-breed animals — a rare example of structured municipal policy in Italy. The Canile Shardana in Quartucciu, partnered with the Quartu council, takes in dogs recovered locally. Associations such as Amici del Branco, Tana di Bau, and Billyfritz collaborate on the municipal programme, while the ASL Cagliari veterinary service handles microchipping, sterilization, and health management. On Adoot.me you can browse dogs and cats for adoption in Quartu Sant'Elena, filter by breed, size, age, and gender, and contact the association caring for the animal directly. Conditions vary by shelter — check each animal's profile for details.
