Pongo

Male · Young · 3 years

Dinamico, socievole, buono Persone, bambini, cani, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Pongo, un simpaticissimo cagnolino nato indicativamente ad agosto 2023, taglia piccola solo 10 kg, pieno di energia e con tanta voglia di vivere. Mi trovo a vivere in un recinto in mezzo alla campagna, senza una famiglia solo per me. Sono un cagnolino dinamico, socievole e adoro stare in compagnia delle persone. Vado d’accordo sia con i cani che con i gatti e sono pronto a portare allegria e affetto nella vita della mia futura famiglia. Per la mia vivacità sarebbe ideale per me una casa con giardino o uno spazio esterno, dove poter correre e giocare, ma naturalmente voglio vivere in casa e come parte della famiglia. Sono vaccinato e con microchip. Mi trovo attualmente in Sicilia, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il Centro-Nord Italia.

About Pongo

What life with Pongo looks like

Pongo 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 Pongo, answered.

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