How do I contact the shelter about Black?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cadela Carlota & Companhia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Black on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Black if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Black 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 Black 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 & Companhia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Black 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.

Black

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I am a beautiful, cooperative, loving and very intelligent dog. Birth date: 05.09.2021 size: large My life story: since I was three months old, my brother Rocky and I were kept on a leash by our owner, on a property in Barão de São Miguel. He never gave us any and was often drunk. One day someone noticed us and a group of people started going to the property to take us off the leash to walk a bit and socialize. This group of people managed to convince our owner to give us to the shelter, where we arrived in February 2024. My temperament: I am a beautiful, cooperative, loving and very intelligent dog. I am brave, even when insecure in certain situations. Sometimes I react impulsively towards unknown dogs and I need someone who can guide me with calm energy in certain situations. Due to lack of socialization when young, I need more experiences and interactions with other dogs. I love long walks, cuddles and (of course) my brother who shared with me the sad life on a leash in the first two years of life.

Eu sou um cão lindo, cooperante, amoroso e muito inteligente. Data de nascimento: 05.09.2021 A minha história de vida: desde os meus três meses que eu e o meu irmão, o Rocky, fomos mantidos na corrente pelo nosso dono, num terreno em Barão de São Miguel. Ele não nos leigava nenhuma e estava muitas vezes bêbado. Um dia alguém reparou em nós e um grupo de pessoas começou a ir ao terreno para nos tirar da corrente para passear um pouco e para socializar. Esse grupo de pessoas conseguiu convencer o nosso dono a entregar-nos ao abrigo, ao qual chegámos em fevereiro de 2024. O meu temperamento: eu sou um cão lindo, cooperante, amoroso e muito inteligente. Sou corajoso, mesmo quando inseguro em certas situações. Às vezes reajo impulsivamente em relação a cães desconhecidos e preciso de ter alguém que me guie com uma energia calma em certas situações. Devido à falta de socialização quando jovem, preciso de mais experiências e interações com outros cães. Adoro passeios longos, mimos e (claro) o meu irmão que partilhou comigo a triste vida numa corrente nos primeiros dois anos de vida.

About Black

What life with Black looks like

Black is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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.
