Adopt Banjo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

I arrived at the shelter in July 2025, together with my sister, Bonita. Our mother belonged to a woman without a shelter in Lagos, who unfortunately passed away. After that, we were cared for by a kind person, who had a farm and took us in for more than a year. She took care of us with love and managed to find a new home for our mother. Unfortunately, this person had to move and, without the conditions to continue with us, handed us over to the shelter - with the certainty that here we would be well cared for and have a new opportunity to find a home.

cheguei ao abrigo em julho de 2025, juntamente com a minha irmã, a Bonita. A nossa mãe pertencia a uma mulher sem-abrigo em Lagos, que infelizmente faleceu. Depois disso, ficámos aos cuidados de uma pessoa generosa, que tinha uma quinta e nos acolheu durante mais de um ano. Ela tratou de nós com carinho e conseguiu encontrar uma nova casa para a nossa mãe. Infelizmente, essa pessoa teve de se mudar e, sem condições para continuar connosco, entregou-nos no abrigo — com a certeza de que aqui seríamos bem cuidados e teríamos uma nova oportunidade de encontrar um lar.

About Banjo

What life with Banjo looks like

Banjo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota in Cadela Carlota.

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 Banjo, answered.

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