Alice

Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 8 years

Tranquilla, dolce e coccolona Persone, bambini, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Alice, una dolcissima simil Staffordshire Bull Terrier nata a Ottobre 2018, taglia media (20 kg). La mia vita non è stata semplice e, dopo tanti anni trascorsi da sola, oggi vivo in un box non coperto. Con l’arrivo dell’inverno ho bisogno di trovare urgentemente una famiglia che mi accolga e mi protegga dal freddo. Sono una cagnolona socievole con le persone, vado d’accordo sia con i maschi che con le femmine e un pochino anche con i gatti. Ho una displasia alle anche posteriori che non può essere operata, ma questo non mi impedisce di fare lunghe passeggiate e scoprire con curiosità il mondo. Grazie ad una volontaria che mi accompagna ogni giorno, sto finalmente rifiorendo e imparando ad apprezzare nuove esperienze. Sogno una famiglia consapevole che sappia guardare oltre la mia età e mi regali finalmente una casa calda, sicura e piena d’amore. Attualmente mi trovo in Piemonte vicino a Verbania e cerco uno stallo o un’adozione al Centro-Nord Italia.

About Alice

What life with Alice looks like

Alice is a medium-sized adult bull terrier dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana 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 Alice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alice?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. I Pelosetti di Silvana handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alice if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — I Pelosetti di Silvana 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alice 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 Alice 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 I Pelosetti di Silvana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alice 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.
