Tea

Female · Puppy

Hello everyone! My name is Tea, I'm a sweet little puppy similar to a Maremma Shepherd, just 2 months old. As an adult, I will reach a maximum of 30 kg. I'm a sweet, affectionate puppy, all to be discovered. My story began in the worst way: I was found in a forest with my siblings, near a road where cars speed by constantly. Unfortunately, one of my siblings didn't make it: he was hit and killed by a car. Fortunately, we were rescued together with our mom, who was very scared and kept her distance to protect us. The volunteers were able to save her too, using a trap cage. Today, we are finally safe and I can start living the life that every puppy deserves. I'm still very small and I need a family to accompany me in my growth, with love, patience, and many caresses. I'm looking for a family that will give me the chance to forget that forest and that road and finally know true love, the one that never ends. Do you want to offer me this opportunity? I'm in Calabria, but I can reach the center and north of Italy with authorized relay, dewormed, vaccinated, and with a microchip.

Buona, tenera e socievole Persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Tea, sono una dolcissima cucciolina simil Pastore Maremmano di appena 2 mesi. Da adulta arriverò a massimo 30 kg. Sono una cucciola dolcissima, affettuosa e tutta da scoprire. La mia storia è iniziata nel peggiore dei modi: sono stata trovata in un bosco insieme ai miei fratellini, vicino a una strada dove sfrecciano continuamente le macchine. Purtroppo uno dei miei fratellini non ce l’ha fatta: è stato investito e ucciso da una macchina. Per fortuna siamo stati recuperati insieme alla nostra mamma, che era molto impaurita e si teneva a distanza per proteggerci. Le volontarie sono riuscite a mettere in salvo anche lei grazie all’utilizzo di una gabbia trappola. Oggi finalmente siamo al sicuro e io posso iniziare a vivere la vita che ogni cucciolo merita. Sono ancora piccolissima e ho bisogno di una famiglia che mi accompagni nella crescita, con amore, pazienza e tante carezze. Cerco una famiglia che mi regali la possibilità di dimenticare quel bosco e quella strada e di conoscere finalmente l’amore vero, quello che non finisce più. Vuoi essere tu a offrirmi questa occasione? Mi trovo in Calabria, ma posso raggiungere il centro e il nord Italia con staffetta autorizzata, sverminata, vaccinata e con microchip.

About Tea

What life with Tea looks like

Tea is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇹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 Tea, answered.

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