Ares

Labrador Retriever · Male · Puppy

Hello everyone! I'm Ares, a sweet puppy born in April 2026, a Labrador mix. My life began in a field, where I was found along with my two mothers, my father, and my 11 siblings. We were in difficult conditions, in a place infested with ticks and fleas, and we needed help. Fortunately, I am now safe and I am finally learning the most beautiful thing of all: to trust humans. I am very brave and lively, I love to play. Now I just want to continue this journey with a patient and loving family, who knows how to respect my time and help me discover how beautiful it is to finally feel loved and safe. I am dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped. I am currently in Sardinia, but for a good adoption I can reach the Center North Italy.

Simpatico, giocherellone, buono Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Ares, un dolcissimo cucciolo nato ad Aprile 2026, un mix Labrador. La mia vita è iniziata in un campo, dove sono stato trovato insieme alle mie due mamme, al mio papà e ai miei ben 11 fratellini. Eravamo in condizioni difficili, in un posto infestato da zecche e pulci, e avevamo bisogno di essere aiutati. Per fortuna oggi sono al sicuro e sto finalmente imparando la cosa più bella di tutte: fidarmi dell’uomo. Sono molto coraggioso e vivace, mi piace molto giocare. Ora vorrei solo continuare questo percorso accanto a una famiglia paziente e amorevole, che sappia rispettare i miei tempi e aiutarmi a scoprire quanto è bello sentirsi finalmente amati e al sicuro. Sono sverminato, vaccinato e con microchip. Mi trovo attualmente in Sardegna, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il Centro Nord Italia.

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a medium-sized puppy/kitten labrador retriever dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 Ares, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ares?
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 Ares on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ares 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 Ares 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 Ares 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 Ares 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.
