How do I contact the shelter about Hana?

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

Can I adopt Hana 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 Hana 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 Hana 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 Hana 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.

Hana

Great Dane · Female · Young · 3 years

Hello everyone! My name is Hana, a beautiful Great Dane mix born in January 2023, and I am a giant with a huge and very sweet heart. My story begins when I was just 3 months old. I was just a puppy when I first experienced the cold asphalt instead of the warmth of a home. Fortunately, a volunteer took care of me and gave me a chance, but since then my life has been spent in shelters, fences, and a lot of waiting. Over the years, I have already changed shelter three times. I have lived in Albania and Greece, but no one has chosen to adopt me yet. And so, after more than three years, I am still here waiting for my family. But I am a wonderful dog: I am affectionate, sweet, and I love receiving cuddles and attention. I am good with children and sociable with other dogs, even with puppies. I am used to walking on a leash, I have medium energy, and I am a quiet and pleasant companion to have by your side. I am dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I am currently in Greece, but for a good adoption, I can reach the North-Central Italy.

Dolce, buona e socievole Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Hana, una splendida cagnolona mix Alano nata a gennaio 2023, taglia grande (45 kg) con un cuore enorme e dolcissimo. La mia storia inizia quando avevo appena 3 mesi. Ero solo una cucciolina quando ho conosciuto per la prima volta il freddo dell’asfalto invece del calore di una casa. Per fortuna una volontaria si è presa cura di me e mi ha dato una possibilità, ma da allora la mia vita è trascorsa tra rifugi, recinzioni e tanta attesa. In questi anni ho già cambiato rifugio ben tre volte. Ho vissuto in Albania e in Grecia, ma nessuno ha ancora scelto di adottarmi. E così, dopo più di tre anni, sono ancora qui ad aspettare la mia famiglia. Eppure sono una cagnolona meravigliosa: sono affettuosa, dolce e adoro ricevere coccole e attenzioni. Sono brava con i bambini e socievole con gli altri cani, anche con i cuccioli. Sono abituata a camminare al guinzaglio, ho un’energia media e sono una compagna tranquilla e piacevole da avere accanto. Sono vaccinata e con microchip. Mi trovo attualmente in Grecia, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il Centro Nord Italia in 2-3 settimane.

About Hana

What life with Hana looks like

Hana is a large young adult great dane 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. 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.
