ANNIE

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 7 years

A ANNIE was found on the street. She did not adapt to living in the shelter. She does not like living with so many dogs. She is always tucked inside her kennel. However, she is a sweet and friendly female dog who knows how to walk on a leash very well. It is noticeable that she had a family before. She is shy, but she just needs time to gain confidence. In a home, she will transform. The ANNIE will be handed over vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

PT·Show original

A Annie foi encontrada na rua. Não se adaptou a viver no abrigo. Não gosta do convívio com tantos cães. Está sempre enfiada na sua casota. Contudo é uma cadela meiga e sociável que sabe muito bem andar de trela. Nota-se que já teve uma família. É tímida, mas precisa só de tempo para ganhar confiança. Numa casa, ela irá transformar-se. A Annie será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ANNIE

What life with ANNIE looks like

ANNIE is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment, doesn't adapt well to shelter life with many dogs

🇵🇹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 ANNIE, answered.

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