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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Alice

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Young · 2 years

Very affectionate, good, playful People, dogs, cats Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: my name is Alice, I am a beautiful young American Staffordshire/Pointer mix (born approximately February 29, 2024), weight 22 kg (medium size). Living in a dog shelter, confined in a small cage, broke my heart. I was not happy (and could not be). The volunteer Deborah decided to save me: she took me to her animal shelter, dreaming of a better future for me... A home where I can start to feel loved. As you can see, I am a wonderful young lady; also, I am very sweet, playful, good with people and other dogs (if requested, I can be tested with cats too!) I would prefer to be the only female dog in the house, because I am a bit dominant when it comes to food. But with the right attention, I can give a lot of love. I came from Puglia to a home foster in Lombardy, in Lodi, but I am vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, leishmaniasis test negative, I reach central and northern Italy for a good adoption.

Molto affettuosa, buona, giocherellona Persone, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Alice, sono una splendida giovane simil Amstaff/Pointer (nata indicativamente il 29 Febbraio 2024), peso 22 kg (taglia media). Vivere in canile, rinchiusa in una piccola gabbia, mi spezzava il cuore. Non ero felice (e non potevo esserlo). La volontaria Deborah ha deciso di salvarmi: mi ha portata nel suo rifugio, sognando per me un futuro migliore… Una casa dove iniziare a sentirmi amata. Come puoi ben vedere sono una giovanotta meravigliosa; inoltre sono dolcissima, giocherellona, buona con le persone e con altri cani (se richiesto posso essere testata anche con i gatti!) Preferirei essere l’unico cane femmina in casa, perché sono un po’ dominante quando si tratta di cibo. Ma con le giuste attenzioni, posso dare tantissimo amore. Sono salita dalla Puglia in uno stallo casalingo in Lombardia, a Lodi ma, vaccinata, microchippata, sterilizzata, test leishmaniosi negativo, raggiungo centro e nord Italia per buona adozione.

About Alice

What life with Alice looks like

Alice is a medium-sized young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

An young 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.
