Adopt Yako

Belgian Tervuren · Male · Young · 1 year

Sweet, affectionate and good with people, children and dogs Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: my name is Yako, I am a Belgian Tervuren puppy, born around December 2025 and when I grow up I will be a medium size, around 25 kg. I am a working dog, intelligent and cooperative, made to learn and follow commands. With me you can do many activities such as training, sports and mental games. I am very lively and need daily movement, stimulation and an experienced guide. For this reason I am not suitable for everyone: I am looking for people with experience, aware and present. Unfortunately my life did not start in the best way: I was found crying on the streets of Puglia and taken to a dog shelter. I was in a box, when instead I needed to run on the grass, play, explore and get to know real life. Despite everything, I have not lost my trust: as soon as someone approaches me I immediately seek cuddles and attention, hoping that one day it will be for me. I am dewormed, vaccinated and with a microchip. I have come to Emilia Romagna, in Piacenza, to a home foster and I am looking for adoption.

Dolce, coccolone e buono Persone, bambini, cani Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: mi chiamo Yako, sono un cucciolo simil Pastore Belga Tervueren, nato indicativamente a Dicembre 2025 e da grande sarò una taglia media, intorno ai 25 kg. Sono un cane da lavoro, intelligente e collaborativo, fatto per imparare ed eseguire comandi.Con me si possono fare tante attività come addestramento, sport e giochi mentali. Sono super vivace e ho bisogno di movimento quotidiano, stimoli e di una guida esperta.Per questo motivo non sono adatto a tutti: cerco persone con esperienza, consapevoli e presenti. Purtroppo la mia vita non è iniziata nel migliore dei modi: sono stato trovato piangente per le strade pugliesi e portato in canile.Sono stato in un box, quando invece avevo bisogno di correre sull’erba, giocare, esplorare e conoscere la vita vera. Nonostante tutto non ho perso la fiducia: appena qualcuno si avvicina cerco subito coccole e attenzioni, sperando che un giorno arrivino proprio per me. Sono sverminato, vaccinato e con microchip. Sono salito in Emilia Romagna, a Piacenza in uno stallo casalingo e cerco adozione.

About Yako

What life with Yako looks like

Yako is a medium-sized young adult belgian tervuren dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

An 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 Yako, answered.

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