Adopt Lupo

Male · Adult · 6 years

Very sweet, kind and sociable Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: my name is Lupo, I am a very sweet large dog, born approximately in September 2020 and weighing 25 kg. I am a medium-sized dog, kind, calm and full of desire for affection. For three long years I have lived in a bleak enclosure, never really knowing what it means to have a home and a family. Despite everything, I haven't lost my trust in people: I am very affectionate even with strangers and I love cuddles. I walk very well on a leash, I don't pull and I like to go for walks in company. I am ready to start a new life, the one I've dreamed of for too long. I'm looking for a family that opens their heart to me and gives me the chance to finally know real love, the one that never ends. Would you be the one to offer me this opportunity? I am in Calabria, but I can reach the center and north of Italy with an authorized transfer, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

Dolcissimo, buono e socievole Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Lupo, sono un dolcissimo cagnolone nato indicativamente a settembre 2020 e peso 25 kg.Sono un cane di taglia media, buono, tranquillo e con tanta voglia di affetto. Da tre lunghi anni vivo in uno squallido recinto, senza mai conoscere davvero cosa significhi avere una casa e una famiglia.Nonostante tutto, non ho perso la fiducia nelle persone: sono molto affettuoso anche con gli estranei e adoro le coccole. Vado benissimo al guinzaglio, non tiro e mi piace fare passeggiate in compagnia.Sono pronto per iniziare una nuova vita, quella che sogno da troppo tempo. Cerco una famiglia che mi apra il cuore e mi regali la possibilità di conoscere finalmente l’amore vero, quello che non finisce più. Vuoi essere tu a offrirmi questa occasione?Mi trovo in Calabria, ma posso raggiungere il centro e il nord Italia con staffetta autorizzata, vaccinato, microchippato e castrato.

About Lupo

What life with Lupo looks like

Lupo is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

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" — 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 Lupo, answered.

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