Ken

Labrador Retriever · Male · Puppy

Playful, sweet and calm People, children, dogs Hello everyone! My name is Ken, a sweet Labrador mix puppy born in August 2026. As an adult, I will be a medium size of about 25 kg. I am a lively, affectionate puppy full of desire to discover the world. At the moment I live with my little brothers in a barn, but we are all ready to leave this place and finally start our life in a real home, surrounded by the love of a family. I am vaccinated and microchipped and I am just waiting for someone who chooses to grow up with me and give me the life I deserve. Currently I am in Calabria, but for a good adoption I can move to all of Central-North Italy.

Giocherellone, dolce e tranquillo Persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Ken, un dolcissimo cucciolo mix Labrador nato ad Agosto 2026. Da adulto sarò una taglia media di circa 25 kg. Sono un cucciolo vivace, affettuoso e pieno di voglia di scoprire il mondo. In questo momento vivo insieme ai miei fratellini in una legnaia, ma siamo tutti pronti a lasciare questo posto e iniziare finalmente la nostra vita in una vera casa, circondati dall’amore di una famiglia. Sono vaccinato e microchippato e aspetto solo qualcuno che scelga di crescere insieme a me e regalarmi la vita che merito. Attualmente mi trovo in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso spostarmi per tutto il Centro-Nord Italia.

About Ken

What life with Ken looks like

Ken is a medium-sized puppy/kitten labrador retriever 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 Ken, answered.

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