How do I contact the shelter about Candy?

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

Can I adopt Candy 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 Candy 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 Candy 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 Candy 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.

Candy

Female · Young · 2 years

Good, sweet, cuddly people, children, dogs Hello to everyone! My name is Candy, I am a sweet small female dog born in January 2025 and I am a medium-sized, contained dog, weighing around 17 kg. I am a sweet, affectionate, and very good dog. I love contact with people, cuddles, and tranquility, but deep down inside me, I also have a lot of desire to leave behind the past and finally start a peaceful life next to a family that truly loves me. My story hasn't been easy: I was found wandering in the territory in Calabria, pregnant, and without a safe place to stay. Shortly after my recovery, I gave birth to my puppies, which I cared for with all the love possible. Fortunately, we met people with big hearts who welcomed us and are taking care of us now. But now I also dream of a second chance: a warm home, my own family, and someone who chooses to love me forever. I am looking for an adoption or even a foster home that can help me start over. I am in Calabria, but for a good adoption, I can reach the center and north of Italy, dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Buona, dolce, coccolona Persone, bambini, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Candy, sono una dolcissima cagnolina nata a maggio 2024 e sono una taglia medio contenuta, peso circa 17 kg. Sono una cagnolina dolce, affettuosa e molto buona. Amo il contatto con le persone, le coccole e la tranquillità, ma dentro di me ho anche tanta voglia di lasciarmi alle spalle il passato e iniziare finalmente una vita serena accanto a una famiglia che mi ami davvero. La mia storia non è stata facile: sono stata trovata mentre vagavo sul territorio in Calabria, incinta e senza un posto sicuro dove stare. Poco dopo il mio recupero ho dato alla luce i miei cuccioli, che ho accudito con tutto l’amore possibile. Per fortuna abbiamo incontrato persone dal cuore grande che ci hanno accolti e si stanno prendendo cura di noi. Adesso però sogno anch’io una seconda possibilità: una casa calda, una famiglia tutta mia e qualcuno che scelga di amarmi per sempre. Sono da abituare al guinzaglio. Ma sono molto intelligente e imparo in fretta. Cerco un’adozione o anche uno stallo che possa aiutarmi a ricominciare. Mi trovo in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il centro e nord Italia, sverminata, vaccinata e con microchip.

About Candy

What life with Candy looks like

Candy is a medium-sized 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.
