Argo

Male · Puppy

Good, sweet, friendly with people, children, dogs Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: my name is Argo, I am a puppy similar to a shepherd, born around mid-January 2026 and when I grow up I will be a medium-large size, about 30 kg. I am a very sweet puppy, ready to grow strong and loyal beside my future family. Like all puppies I have a lot of energy, curiosity and a great desire to discover the world, learn new things and live a thousand adventures with someone who has time to dedicate to me. Unfortunately my life did not start in the best way: I was found on the street along with my brothers and sisters and my mom, who was wandering the area and had given birth in a canal among reeds and thorns. We were rescued and are now being taken care of by a kind-hearted girl. I'm looking for an adoption or even a foster home to finally start a new life. I am in Calabria, but for a good adoption or foster home I can reach central and northern Italy, dewormed, vaccinated and with a microchip.

Buono, dolce, simpatico persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Argo, sono un cucciolo simil pastore, nato indicativamente a metà gennaio 2026 e da grande sarò una taglia medio-grande, circa 30 kg. Sono un cucciolo dolcissimo, pronto a crescere forte e fedele accanto alla mia futura famiglia. Come tutti i cuccioli ho tanta energia, curiosità e una gran voglia di scoprire il mondo, imparare cose nuove e vivere mille avventure con qualcuno che abbia tempo da dedicarmi. Purtroppo la mia vita non è iniziata nel migliore dei modi: sono stato trovato per strada insieme ai miei fratellini e sorelline e alla mia mamma, che vagava sul territorio e aveva partorito in un canale in mezzo a un canneto e rovi. Siamo stati recuperati e ora ci sta tenendo una ragazza dal buon cuore. Cerco un’adozione o anche uno stallo per iniziare finalmente una nuova vita. Mi trovo in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione o stallo posso raggiungere il centro e nord Italia, sverminato, vaccinato e con microchip.

About Argo

What life with Argo looks like

Argo is a large puppy/kitten 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 Argo, answered.

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