Adopt Frida

Female · Young · 1 year

Affectionate, shy but sweet. People, children, dogs. Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: my name is Frida, I was born approximately in January 2025, medium small size (15kg). I am a very sweet female dog, a bit shy and I am slowly learning to trust people again. I was rescued from the street by the police after a report: I was injured and scared... I was in a clinic in Calabria, where they treated me with a lot of love. I had a fracture that fully healed. My biggest dream is to have a family all for myself. I am vaccinated, microchipped and spayed, ready to start a new life beside someone who truly loves me. Would you like to give me this opportunity? From Calabria I moved to a temporary foster home in Lombardy, near Como, but I can reach the central and northern Italy for adoption.

Affettuosa, timidina ma dolce Persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Frida, sono nata indicativamente a gennaio 2025, taglia medio piccola (15kg). Sono una cagnolina dolcissima, un po’ timidina e sto imparando piano piano a fidarmi di nuovo delle persone.Sono stata recuperata dalla strada dai vigili dopo una segnalazione: ero ferita e spaventata… sono stata in una clinica in Calabria, dove mi hanno curato con tanto amore. Ho avuto una frattura guarita completamente.Il mio sogno più grande è avere una famiglia tutta per me. Sono vaccinata, microchippata e sterilizzata, pronta per iniziare una nuova vita accanto a chi mi amerà davvero. Vuoi offrirmi tu questa possibilità? Dalla Calabria sono salita in uno stallo temporaneo in Lombardia, vicino Como, ma posso raggiungere il centro e nord Italia per adozione.

About Frida

What life with Frida looks like

Frida 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 Frida, answered.

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