Affectionate, good, and sociable with people, children, and other dogs Hello everyone! My name is Whisky, and I am a sweet small dog of medium-small size, weighing only 12 kg, born around May 2016. My life hasn't been easy… I was a small neighborhood dog, one of those who learned to survive day by day, often without attention, and through many monotonous days. Then something happened that changed everything: I was found injured. At that moment, my path crossed with people who decided not to turn away. They helped me, cared for me, and welcomed me… I am now in Calabria and I am waiting for my chance to truly be reborn. I am a very affectionate and energetic small dog, I love the company of people and get along well with my kind and even with cats. I have a good and sociable personality, and despite everything I've gone through, I continue to trust in humanity. From Calabria, I can be transported to central or northern Italy, vaccinated, microchipped, with negative test results for adoption or foster home.

Affettuoso, buono e socievole Persone, bambini, cani femmine, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Whisky, sono un dolcissimo cagnolino di taglia medio-piccola, di soli 12 kg, nato indicativamente a maggio 2016. La mia vita non è stata facile…Sono stato un cagnolino di quartiere, uno di quelli che imparano a sopravvivere giorno dopo giorno, tra attenzioni a volte mancate e tante giornate tutte uguali. Poi è successo qualcosa che ha cambiato tutto: sono stato trovato ferito.E in quel momento la mia strada ha incrociato quella di persone che hanno deciso di non girarsi dall’altra parte. Mi hanno soccorso, curato e accolto… Sono un cagnolino molto affettuoso e pieno di energia, adoro la compagnia delle persone e vado d’accordo con i miei simili di sesso femminile e anche con i gatti.Ho un carattere buono, socievole e, nonostante tutto quello che ho passato, continuo ad avere fiducia nell’essere umano. Dalla Calabria sono salito in stallo in Piemonte a Torino ma posso spostarmi, vaccinato, microchippato, test negativi per adozione.

About Whisky

What life with Whisky looks like

Whisky is a small senior dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

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 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 Whisky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Whisky?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Whisky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Whisky 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 I Pelosetti di Silvana whether they will for Whisky, 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 Whisky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: I Pelosetti di Silvana lists Whisky as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by I Pelosetti di Silvana, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Whisky isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask I Pelosetti di Silvana about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Whisky 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.
