BERNIE

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

BERNIE was found on the street. He is a sweet, active, and playful dog. He loves toys, and although he is still a puppy, he ends up hurting himself by nipping, but he will outgrow this phase. He is sociable with female dogs but a bit dominant with males. He behaves well on leash walks. BERNIE will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.

O Bernie foi encontrado na rua. É um cão meigo, ativo e brincalhão. Adora brinquedos e como é ainda cachorrão, acaba por magoar ao mordiscar, mas vai passar esta fase. É sociável com cadelas mas um pouco dominante com machos. Porta-se bem nos passeios de trela. O Bernie será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About BERNIE

What life with BERNIE looks like

BERNIE 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: May nip during play due to puppy-like behavior, needs guidance through this phase

🇵🇹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 BERNIE, answered.

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