BILBO

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

BILBO is a shy little one, who can easily be "bought" with some rewards... not at all greedy, of course! He is a calm guy who likes to be by himself. He is small in size (here between us, he is a bit on the chubby side) and seems to be the ideal dog for someone looking for an excellent companion, one that comes "ready to consume" and doesn't want to give anyone headaches.

Bilbo é um miúdo tímido, que se deixa facilmente "comprar" com algumas recompensas...nada guloso, claro está! É um rapaz calmo, que gosta de estar na dele. Tem porte pequeno (aqui entre nós, está um pouco para o rechonchudo) e parece-nos ser o cão ideal para alguém que procure um companheiro de excelência, daqueles que já vem "pronto a consumir" e não quer dar dores de cabeça a ninguém. Esterilizado, Vacinas em Dia, Desparasitado

About BILBO

What life with BILBO looks like

BILBO is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Sítio dos Animais — Sintra in Sintra.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇹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 BILBO, answered.

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