How do I contact the shelter about Buk?

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 Buk on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Buk 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 Buk 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 Buk 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 Buk 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.

Buk

Male · Adult · 4 years

Coccolone, very sweet, sociable People, dogs, cats Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: my name is Buk, I am a wonderful young guy similar to a shepherd (born around December 2022), large size (weight around 60 kg). A year and a half ago I was alone, lost, in the countryside of Calabria. I was looking for food, shelter, a kind look. But my large size frightened people, and I was often chased away... even in a bad way. Then, some kind-hearted ladies reported my presence and took me in. Since then I have been living in a pen. Waiting for that happy ending that I hope will come for me too. I am a wonderful young guy; at first I may seem shy... but if you give me time, trust and love, I will return everything with interest. I become very sweet, a real kind giant. Those that bond forever. Sociable with dogs and even with cats. Do you possibly have the possibility to host me for a while? Or maybe... would you like to adopt me and love me forever? I am in Calabria and, vaccinated, microchipped, negative leishmaniasis test, I can go to central and northern Italy for foster home or adoption.

Coccolone, dolcissimo, socievole Persone, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Buk, sono uno splendido giovanotto simil Pastore (nato indicativamente a Dicembre 2022), taglia grande (peso intorno i 60 kg). Un anno e mezzo fa ero solo, spaesato, in mezzo alla campagna calabrese. Cercavo cibo, un riparo, uno sguardo gentile. Ma la mia taglia grande spaventava, e spesso venivo scacciato… anche in malo modo. Poi, alcune signore dal cuore grande hanno segnalato la mia presenza, e mi hanno accolto. Da allora vivo in un recinto. Aspettando quel lieto fine che spero arrivi anche per me. Sono un giovanotto meraviglioso; all’inizio posso sembrare timido… ma se mi dai tempo, fiducia e amore, ti restituisco tutto con gli interessi. Divento dolcissimo, un vero gigante buono. Di quelli che si legano per sempre. Socievole con cani e persino con i gatti. Hai per favore la possibilità di ospitarmi per un periodo? O magari… desideri adottarmi ed amarmi per sempre? Mi trovo in Calabria e, vaccinato, microchippato, test leishmaniosi negativo, raggiungo centro e nord Italia per stallo o adozione.

About Buk

What life with Buk looks like

Buk is a large adult dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
