How do I contact the shelter about Mia?

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

Can I adopt Mia 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 Mia 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 Mia 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 Mia 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.

Mia

Female · Adult · 6 years

Hello everyone! My name is Mia, I was born in August 2020 and I am a medium-sized dog. I am a very sweet, calm and low-energy dog. I have spent almost my entire adult life waiting for a family. When I was about a year old, I was abandoned and shortly after, I was hit by a car, resulting in a serious fracture to one of my legs. After two surgeries, I have a slight limp, but this does not prevent me from living a happy life and loving people. I am spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, used to living indoors and very good on a leash. I get along well with children, cats and other dogs. I am currently completing treatment for heartworm disease: I have already completed 8 months of treatment and should soon test negative. I have been living in a boarding kennel for 5 years, waiting for someone to finally notice me. My limp does not define me. I am a dog full of love, who just wants a soft bed, a few walks and a family of her own. I am currently in Calabria, but for a good adoption in northern Italy, I can arrive in 2-3 weeks.

Tranquilla, buona e brava Persone, bambini, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Mia, sono nata ad agosto 2020 e sono una taglia media. Sono una cagnolina dolcissima, tranquilla e con poca energia. Ho trascorso quasi tutta la mia vita adulta aspettando una famiglia. Quando avevo circa un anno sono stata abbandonata e, poco dopo, sono stata investita da un’auto, riportando una grave frattura a una zampa. Dopo due interventi, mi è rimasta una lieve zoppia, ma questo non mi impedisce di vivere serenamente e di amare le persone. Sono sterilizzata, vaccinata, sverminata, abituata a vivere in casa e bravissima al guinzaglio. Vado d’accordo con bambini, gatti e altri cani. Attualmente sto completando la cura contro la filariosi cardiopolmonare: ho già affrontato 8 mesi di trattamento e presto dovrei risultare negativa. Da ben 5 anni vivo in pensione, aspettando che qualcuno finalmente si accorga di me. La mia zoppia non mi definisce. Sono una cagnolina piena d’amore, che desidera solo una cuccia morbida, qualche passeggiata e una famiglia tutta sua. Mi trovo attualmente in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione al centro nord Italia.

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia 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.
