How do I contact the shelter about Aria?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associacao Midas handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aria on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Aria if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associacao Midas 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 Aria 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 Aria 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 Associacao Midas early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aria 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.

Aria

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A Aria was born in April 2020 and carries with her a difficult story to forget. Since the beginning, we called her Mother Warrior. Rescued after being hit by a car on a highway one night, the scene was very violent; she arrived at the hospital with her organs exposed, leading to a uterine rupture and the babies were being born through the abdominal area where the rupture occurred. A scene of fear, pain, and survival that left deep marks on how she views the world. Aria is a sensitive dog who needs time to trust. But there is something that helps her a lot: walks. 🌿 She loves to walk, explore, and feel the world without pressure. It's in these moments that she truly begins to relax and show her true self. She is an animal that does not come to us for pampering but allows touch, and after some time, she ends up relaxing and enjoying. Aria needs someone special. Someone patient, aware, and with enough love to understand that some souls take more time to bloom. Birthdate: 04/2020 | medium size (24kg)

A Aria nasceu em abril de 2020 e carrega consigo uma história difícil de esquecer, desde o início que a chamamos de Mãe Guerreira. Foi resgatada depois de ter sido atropelada, numa madrugada em plena autoestrada. O cenário foi muito violento..deu entrada no hospital com as vísceras expostas, o que levou à ruptura do útero e os bebés estavam a nascer pela zona abdominal onde fez a ruptura. Um cenário de medo, dor e sobrevivência que deixou marcas profundas na forma como vê o mundo. A Aria é uma cadela sensível e precisa de tempo para confiar. Mas existe algo que a ajuda muito: os passeios. 🌿 Adora caminhar, explorar e sentir o mundo sem pressão. É nesses momentos que começa verdadeiramente a relaxar e a mostrar quem é. É um animal que não vem ter connosco para ter mimo mas permite o toque e depois de algum tempo acaba por relaxar e aproveitar. A Aria precisa de alguém especial. Alguém paciente, consciente e com amor suficiente para compreender que algumas almas demoram mais tempo a florescer. Data de nascimento: 04/2020 | Porte médio (24kg)

About Aria

What life with Aria looks like

Aria is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associacao Midas in Portugal.

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.

🇵🇹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.
