Dora

Female · Puppy

Dora, a sweet, lively and cuddly beagle-like puppy, born in April 2026, will grow to a future medium size of 20 kg. Until recently, I lived in a forest with my 4 siblings. A lady took care of us and brought us food, but unfortunately she was never able to find us a home. We lived under simple metal sheets, without knowing the warmth and safety of a real family. Now I have finally been rescued, vaccinated and microchipped and I am ready to start a new life. I am a sweet puppy, very affectionate and eager to receive all the attention and love that I have been missing so far. I am looking for a family that will welcome me with love and make me finally discover how nice it is to grow up safe. I am currently in Calabria, but for a good adoption I can move to all of Central-North Italy.

Dolce, vivace e coccolona Persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Dora, una dolcissima cucciola simil segugio nata ad Aprile 2026, futura taglia media di 20 Kg. Fino a poco tempo fa vivevo in un bosco insieme ai miei 4 fratellini. Una signora si prendeva cura di noi e ci portava da mangiare, ma purtroppo non è mai riuscita a trovarci una casa. Vivevamo riparati sotto delle semplici lamiere, senza conoscere il calore e la sicurezza di una vera famiglia. Ora finalmente sono stata recuperata, vaccinata e microchippata e sono pronta a iniziare una nuova vita. Sono una cucciola dolcissima, molto affettuosa e desiderosa di ricevere tutte le attenzioni e l’amore che finora mi sono mancati. Cerco una famiglia che mi accolga con amore e mi faccia finalmente scoprire quanto è bello crescere al sicuro. Attualmente mi trovo in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso spostarmi per tutto il Centro-Nord Italia.

About Dora

What life with Dora looks like

Dora is a medium-sized 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 Dora, answered.

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