ALLY

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 4 years

A ALLY was abandoned along with her mother when the previous owners returned to their country. We assume she was not well treated, as she was very shy and for months no one could touch her at the shelter. Over time, she started to gain some trust and now finally trusts the few people she sees every day. With other people she is still cautious, but usually follows them, wags her tail, and accepts a few quick pets. In a home with patience and love, ALLY would definitely thrive. ALLY is very social with other dogs! She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

PT·Show original

A Ally foi abandonada juntamente com a mãe quando os antigos donos regressaram ao seu país. Presumimos que não tenha sido bem tratada, pois era muito desconfiada e, durante meses, ninguém conseguia tocá-la no abrigo. Com o tempo, começou a ganhar alguma confiança e agora finalmente confia nas poucas pessoas que vê todos os dias. Com outras pessoas ainda é cautelosa, mas costuma segui-las, abanar a cauda e aceitar umas festinhas rápidas. Num lar com paciência e amor, a Ally iria certamente florescer. A Ally é super sociável com outros cães! Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ALLY

What life with ALLY looks like

ALLY is a medium-sized adult labrador retriever dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient owner due to trust issues from past neglect

🇵🇹Adopting from Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting ALLY, answered.

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