Athena

Mixed Breed · Unknown

"Get out of the way, I lost my brakes!!!" Ahead is Athena, behind is Hera, her twin sister! You already know Apollo! Athena and her siblings were thrown into the CAT as babies. It was in the beginning of a June afternoon, those ones where the sun is already hot and the temperatures reach 38 degrees. They were thrown into a enclosure where adult dogs run free; they had no water and didn't know where to seek shelter, because they were so small. Who did it? We know who it was! We know that these

"Saiam da frente que eu perdi os travões!!!" À frente vem a Athena, lá atrás a Hera, irmã gémea! O Apolo vocês já conhecem! A Athena e seus irmãos foram atirados para dentro do CAT ainda bebés. Foi num início de tarde de Junho, daqueles em que o sol já aperta e as temperaturas já atingem os 38 graus. Foram atirados para dentro de um recinto onde andam cães adultos à solta; não tinham água nem sabiam onde procurar abrigo, por serem tão pequenos. Quem o fez? Nós sabemos quem foi! Sabemos que essas

About Athena

What life with Athena looks like

Athena is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animais do Cantinho (Évora) 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Athena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Athena?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animais do Cantinho (Évora) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Athena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Athena if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animais do Cantinho (Évora) 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 Athena 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 Athena 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 Animais do Cantinho (Évora) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Athena 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.
