Adopt Shila

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 15 years

Spayed: Yes Description Shila is a small female dog with a sunny, curious and affectionate character towards people. Good on a leash and calm in the car. History When she entered the dog shelter, she was a very young small female dog inexperienced and full of fears, and with her there were her beautiful puppies. After a short time, her little ones found their families, while for her the cage has not opened since 2011. We believe that somewhere there will be that special family who will fall in love with her very sweet gaze. Ideal adoption Suitable for any type of family. Gets along with other dogs, both male and female, and also with cats.

Sterilizzato: SI Descrizione Shila è una cagnolina dal carattere solare, curioso e affettuoso con le persone. Brava al guinzaglio e tranquilla anche in macchina. Storia Quando è entrata in canile era una giovanissima cagnolina inesperta e piena di paure e con lei c erano i suoi bellissimi cuccioli. Dopo poco tempo i suoi piccoli hanno raggiunto le loro famiglie, mentre per lei quella gabbia dal 2011 non si è più aperta. Crediamo che da qualche parte ci sarà quella famiglia speciale che si innamorerà del suo dolcissimo sguardo. Adozione ideale Adatta ad ogni tipo di famiglia. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani sia maschi che femmine, e anche con i gatti.

About Shila

What life with Shila looks like

Shila is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane — Conversano in Conversano.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹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 Shila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane — Conversano handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane — Conversano 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 Shila 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 Shila 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 Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane — Conversano early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shila 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.
