Atena

Husky · Female · Puppy

Hello everyone! My name is Athena, a sweet little Husky mix puppy, born in April 2026. My life began in Calabria, where I was found with my siblings and my mom, a beautiful 2-year-old Husky. My dad is unknown. We were in a difficult situation and needed help. Fortunately, I am now safe and can finally think about my future. I am a medium-sized puppy, 20-25 kg as an adult, a real bundle of energy and sweetness: I love playing, running and having fun nonstop, but when it's time for cuddles, I know how to transform into a very affectionate little one. I would love a home where I can grow up loved, protected and surrounded by all the attention that every puppy deserves. In return, I promise to fill my future family's life with joy, games and lots of love. I am dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped. I am currently in Calabria, but for a good adoption, I can reach the North-Central Italy.

Dolce, tranquilla e buona Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Athena, una dolcissima cucciola simil Husky, nata ad Aprile 2026. La mia vita è iniziata in Calabria, dove sono stata trovata insieme ai miei fratellini e alla mia mamma, una bellissima Husky di 2 anni. Il mio papà è ignoto. Eravamo in una situazione difficile e avevamo bisogno di essere aiutati. Per fortuna oggi sono al sicuro e posso finalmente pensare al mio futuro. Sono una cucciola di una futura taglia media, 20-25 kg da adulta, un vero concentrato di energia e dolcezza: adoro giocare, correre e divertirmi senza sosta, ma quando arriva il momento delle coccole so trasformarmi in una tenerissima coccolona. Vorrei tanto una casa dove crescere amata, protetta e circondata da tutte quelle attenzioni che ogni cucciolo merita. Io, in cambio, prometto di riempire la vita della mia futura famiglia di allegria, giochi e tantissimo amore. Sono sverminata, vaccinata e con microchip. Mi trovo attualmente in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il Centro Nord Italia.

About Atena

What life with Atena looks like

Atena is a medium-sized puppy/kitten husky 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 Atena, answered.

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