Mimmo

Male · Young · 2 years

Dynamic, sociable and good People, children, dogs, cats Hello everyone! My name is Mimmo, a mixed breed dog born around October 2024. I weigh 15 kg and are a medium-small size, perfect for sharing life with a family. My story, however, began in the saddest way. I was found in the mountains malnourished and full of fleas and ticks. Fortunately someone noticed me and helped me: now I am fine, I am vaccinated and with microchip and I can't wait to leave the past behind. I am a good, affectionate, dynamic and sociable dog with other dogs. I am looking for a family that will welcome me forever and make me discover how beautiful it is to be loved. I am in Calabria, but for a good adoption I can arrive in Central-North Italy.

Dinamico, socievole e buono Persone, bambini, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Mimmo, un cagnolino meticcio nato indicativamente ad ottobre 2024. Peso 15 kg e sono una taglia medio-piccola, perfetta per condividere la vita con una famiglia. La mia storia, però, è iniziata nel modo più triste. Sono stato trovato in montagna denutrito e pieno di pulci e zecche. Per fortuna qualcuno si è accorto di me e mi ha aiutato: ora sto bene, sono vaccinato e con microchip e non vedo l’ora di lasciarmi alle spalle il passato. Sono un cagnolino buono, affettuoso, dinamico e socievole con gli altri cani. Cerco una famiglia che mi accolga per sempre e mi faccia scoprire quanto è bello essere amati. Sono in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso arrivare al Centro-Nord Italia. .

About Mimmo

What life with Mimmo looks like

Mimmo is a small young adult dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

A 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 Mimmo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mimmo?: 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 Mimmo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mimmo 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mimmo 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 Mimmo 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 Mimmo 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.
