ASPEN

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A ASPEN was delivered by her owner to a municipal dog shelter — why, we don't know. What we do know is that unfortunately, abandoning a dog continues to be too easy. Fortunately, ASPEN is an extraordinarily sweet dog. Very friendly with people, sociable with other dogs, gentle, playful, and without any trace of shyness. She loves interacting and is always ready to receive attention with joy. She walks well on a leash and, as far as we know, is accustomed to living in a domestic environment. ASPEN will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

A Aspen foi entregue pelo seu tutor num canil municipal — por que razão, não sabemos. O que sabemos é que, infelizmente, abandonar um cão continua a ser fácil demais. Felizmente, a Aspen é uma cadela extraordinariamente doce. Muito amigável com pessoas, sociável com outros cães, meiga, brincalhona e sem qualquer traço de timidez. Adora interagir e está sempre pronta para receber atenção com alegria. Anda bem de trela e, pelo que sabemos, está habituada a viver em ambiente doméstico. A Aspen será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ASPEN

What life with ASPEN looks like

ASPEN is a medium-sized adult mixed breed 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.

🇵🇹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 ASPEN, answered.

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