About Jack
What life with Jack looks like
Jack is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana ODV in Reggio Calabria.
An 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" โ quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ to let them settle.
๐ฎ๐นAdopting 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 Jack, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Jack?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. I Pelosetti di Silvana ODV handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt Jack if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ I Pelosetti di Silvana ODV 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 โฌ100โโฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
- Is Jack 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 โ ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
- What happens if Jack isn't the right fit?
- Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with I Pelosetti di Silvana ODV early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jack 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 โ 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.
