ANTONIETTE

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 2 years

A ANTONIETTE was rescued along with her mother, Manette, and her sister, Paulette, from an extreme neglect situation. The three were confined in a small, dirty cage and were never allowed to venture out. However, her mother and sister have already found families. Now, it’s just missing ANTONIETTE. At first contact, she is a shy dog who needs time to gain confidence. But when she forms a bond with someone, she adores that person deeply. The most special about ANTONIETTE is her enormous sweetness. She is extremely gentle, very meek with people, and it’s clear that she wants to trust. She is also sociable with other dogs, both males and females, of all sizes. ANTONIETTE walks very well on a leash. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Antoniette foi resgatada juntamente com a mãe, Manette, e a irmã, Paulette, de uma situação de extrema negligência. As três viviam fechadas numa pequena jaula suja e nunca eram deixadas sair. Entretanto, a mãe e a irmã já encontraram família. Agora falta a Antoniette. No primeiro contacto é uma cadela tímida e precisa de tempo para ganhar confiança. Mas quando cria ligação com alguém, adora essa pessoa profundamente. O mais especial na Antoniette é a sua enorme doçura. É extremamente gentil, muito meiga com pessoas e nota-se que quer confiar. Também é sociável com outros cães, machos e fêmeas, de todos os tamanhos. A Antoniette anda muito bem à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ANTONIETTE

What life with ANTONIETTE looks like

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

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 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 ANTONIETTE, answered.

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