Miele

Golden Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

Hello everyone! I'm Miele, a sweet little Golden/Maremmano mix puppy born in September 2023, medium size, weighing only 20 kg (I'm short in stature). My life didn't start off well: for a whole summer I wandered the streets of the village, under the sun and with no one taking care of me. I was at my wit's end when, after many difficulties, the volunteers managed to take me in and finally put me in safety. Today I'm a sweet dog and I've finally learned to trust humans. I love cuddles, contact and being close to people. I'm very gentle with children and get along with both dogs and cats. I can walk on a leash without problems and I'm ready to discover how beautiful life can be with a family. I'm looking for a loving family to finally give me a home and make me forget that summer I spent on the streets. I'm in Calabria, but for a good adoption I can reach Central-North Italy, vaccinated and with microchip.

Buono, socievole e coccolone Persone, bambini, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Miele, un dolcissimo cagnolino mix Golden / Maremmano nato indicativamente a settembre 2023, taglia media, peso solo 20 kg (sono basso di statura). La mia vita non è iniziata nel modo migliore: per un’intera estate ho vagato per le strade del paese, sotto il sole e senza nessuno che si prendesse cura di me. Ero ormai allo stremo delle forze quando, dopo tante difficoltà, le volontarie sono riuscite a prendermi e a mettermi finalmente al sicuro. Oggi sono un cane dolcissimo e ho finalmente imparato a fidarmi dell’uomo. Amo le coccole, il contatto e stare vicino alle persone. Sono molto dolce anche con i bambini e vado d’accordo sia con i cani che con i gatti. So andare al guinzaglio senza problemi e sono pronto a scoprire quanto può essere bella la vita accanto a una famiglia. Cerco una famiglia amorevole che mi regali finalmente una casa e mi faccia dimenticare quell’estate passata per strada. Mi trovo in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il Centro-Nord Italia, vaccinato e con microchip.

About Miele

What life with Miele looks like

Miele is a medium-sized young adult golden retriever dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

An young 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 Miele, answered.

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