How do I contact the shelter about Lapo?

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

Can I adopt Lapo 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 Lapo 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 Lapo 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 Lapo 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.

Lapo

Male · Puppy

Good, sweet, friendly People, children, dogs Hello to everyone! My name is Lapo, I'm a friendly puppy mix with a bassett hound. I was born around the end of April 2026 and will be a medium-sized dog with an adult weight that shouldn't exceed 18 kg. I'm a small, affectionate dog full of curiosity to discover the world. I love company, cuddles, and everything that makes me feel loved and safe. My story begins before my birth: my mom, Milla, was found abandoned while pregnant. A kind person rescued her and gave her a safe place to give birth to me and my 5 siblings, for a total of 6 puppies. My mom weighs around 10 kg, while my dad is unknown; for this reason, it's estimated that as an adult, I will reach a maximum of 18 kg, remaining a small, medium-sized dog. Now, I dream of a special family that chooses to accompany me in my growth, teaching me everything I need to know with love and giving me a life full of affection. I'm in Calabria, and from the beginning of July, for a good adoption, I can reach the Center and North Italy. I will be dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Buono, dolce, socievole Persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Lapo, sono un simpatico cucciolo mix bassotto nato indicativamente a fine Aprile 2026 e sarò una taglia medio-contenuta, con un peso da adulto che non dovrebbe superare i 18 kg. Sono un cagnolino tenero, affettuoso e pieno di voglia di scoprire il mondo. Adoro la compagnia, le coccole e tutto ciò che può farmi sentire amato e al sicuro. La mia storia inizia prima ancora della mia nascita: la mia mamma, Milla, è stata trovata abbandonata mentre era incinta. Una persona dal cuore grande l’ha soccorsa e le ha dato un posto sicuro dove poter mettere al mondo me e i miei 5 fratellini, per un totale di 6 cuccioli. La mia mamma pesa circa 10 kg, mentre del mio papà non si sa nulla; per questo si stima che da adulto raggiungerò al massimo i 18 kg, rimanendo un cagnolino di taglia medio-contenuta. Ora sogno una famiglia speciale che scelga di accompagnarmi nella crescita, insegnandomi con amore tutto ciò che c’è da sapere e regalandomi una vita piena di affetto. Mi trovo in Calabria e, dai primi di luglio, per una buona adozione potrò raggiungere il Centro e Nord Italia. Verrò affidato sverminato, vaccinato e con microchip.

About Lapo

What life with Lapo looks like

Lapo 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.
