“No one sees you…we will”

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

This is a story of hope, and luckily, one that has a good ending. We are so relieved and proud to be able to share with you. The uncertain, sad life of two young dogs from Pico has now changed for the better, thanks to the determination of four women who have committed themselves to helping the dogs of Pico Island, each of them in their unique way. At eight months of age, these puppies had already experienced neglect and abuse. Living in an "almost" abandoned house, food and water was scarce, even more so the contacts with a human being, especially with a person that we would define as one being human. A report to the police made their story come to the surface, so that they could finally be SEEN. Seen as creatures neglected by their human family, living in a filthy environment, with a chain that caused a terribly deep wound around the neck and with problems in their paws, probably caused by a poorly nutritious diet. Sandra, a precious employee working at the dog shelter of S.Roque in Pico Island, decided to ask for help to Dania (PicoDogs Organization) so that the dogs could be sterilized, chipped and vaccinated. Everything ran beautifully at the vet clinic Companhia Animal, where Beatriz and Sara took special care of them. Some may think that dogs who have experienced such awfully bad encounters with humans will show avoidance, fear and even aggressive behavior towards people. This idea could not be more wrong. They are both very sweet and very enthusiastic to interact and play with any human companion. Sandra could not wait any longer and immediately searched for a new adopting family. Once their recovery was complete, we helped the dogs to get to their new home on the island of Graciosa! Many thanks to Sandra, the new adopting family, Dania, Beatriz and Sara and to all of you that are ready to speak out for all the innocent creatures of Pico that deserve a more respectful life. Special thanks to the vet Patricia that treated the awful wound on the neck. If you are in Pico and know people who keep animals in poor condition or who inflict abuse on them, please inform GNR 292642389 or contact SOS Ambiente 800 292 800, available 24 hours a day. The report is anonymous and could save a life.

About “No one sees you…we will”

What life with “No one sees you…we will” looks like

“No one sees you…we will” is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pico Dogs in Pico Island.

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 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 “No one sees you…we will”, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about “No one sees you…we will”?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pico Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw “No one sees you…we will” on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt “No one sees you…we will” if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pico Dogs 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 “No one sees you…we will” 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 “No one sees you…we will” 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 Pico Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know “No one sees you…we will” 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.
