About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Il Silenzio degli Invisibili — Gera Lario in Gera Lario CO.

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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Olivia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olivia?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Il Silenzio degli Invisibili — Gera Lario handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Olivia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olivia if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Il Silenzio degli Invisibili — Gera Lario whether they will for Olivia, what they require (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 Olivia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Olivia. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Il Silenzio degli Invisibili — Gera Lario, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Olivia isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Il Silenzio degli Invisibili — Gera Lario about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olivia 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.
