Bella

Female · Young · 1 year

Good, sweet, friendly people, children, dogs, cats Hello everyone! My name is Bella, I am a beautiful mixed-breed dog born around May 2025 and I am a small (weighing just 5 kg). I am a very affectionate small female dog, friendly with everyone and always cheerful. I love being in company, receiving cuddles, and bringing a bit of joy to those around me. My story hasn't been easy: I was found on the street in a small town in Calabria while searching for something to eat. I was full of fleas and ticks, but despite everything, I never lost my sweetness. I am the sweetest and most friendly, getting along well with both dogs and cats, and now I dream of a family that wants to welcome and love me forever. I am in Calabria, but for a good adoption, I can reach the center and north of Italy, dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Buona, dolce, simpatica persone, bambini, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Bella, sono una splendida meticcia nata indicativamente a maggio 2025 e sono una taglia piccola (peso appena 5 kg). Sono una cagnolina molto affettuosa, socievole con tutti e sempre allegra. Adoro stare in compagnia, ricevere coccole e portare un po’ di gioia a chi mi sta vicino. La mia storia non è stata semplice: sono stata trovata per strada, in un paesino della Calabria, mentre cercavo qualcosa da mangiare. Ero piena di pulci e zecche, ma nonostante tutto non ho mai perso la mia dolcezza. Sono dolcissima e simpatica, vado d’accordo sia con i cani che con i gatti e ora sogno una famiglia che voglia accogliermi e amarmi per sempre. Mi trovo in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il centro e nord Italia, sverminata, vaccinata e con microchip.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a small young adult 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella, answered.

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