BANDIDA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

A BANDIDA was rescued from a municipal dog shelter. She is a timid dog that doesn't react well to people she doesn't know. However, once she gains confidence, she is very affectionate. She just needs time. She is very social with other dogs. We were told that at the dog shelter, she even seemed to like cats. She behaves well on leash walks. Due to the lack of exercise in the shelter and always available food, the BANDIDA is overweight. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Bandida foi resgatada dum canil municipal. É uma cadela um tímida e que não reage bem a pessoas que não conhece. Contudo, depois de ganhar confiança é uma querida. Só precisa de tempo. É muito sociável com outros cães. Foi-nos dito que no canil até parecia gostar de gatos. Porta-se bem nos passeios de trela. Devido à falta de exercício no abrigo e à ração sempre disponível, a Bandida está em excesso de peso. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About BANDIDA

What life with BANDIDA looks like

BANDIDA 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.

Note from the shelter: Overweight due to lack of exercise and unlimited food access at shelter

🇵🇹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 BANDIDA, answered.

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