BOLOTA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

A Bolota was found on the street. She is a very sweet and gentle dog, although she may be a bit shy at first. She needs some time to adapt to new people and environments, but once she gains confidence and feels safe, she reveals herself to be a wonderful dog. She loves the company of other dogs, gets along very well with them and is quite playful. We believe she would be happier in a family that already has another dog, to have company. She walks well on a leash and, by her behavior, everything indicates that she is used to living indoors. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and with a microchip.

A Bolota foi encontrada na rua. É uma cadela muito doce e meiga, embora possa mostrar-se um pouco tímida no primeiro contacto. Precisa de algum tempo para se adaptar a novas pessoas e ambientes, mas, assim que ganha confiança e se sente segura, revela-se uma cadela maravilhosa. Adora a companhia de outros cães, dá-se muito bem com eles e é bastante brincalhona. Acreditamos que seria mais feliz numa família que já tenha outro cão, para ter companhia. Passeia bem à trela e, pelo seu comportamento, tudo indica que esteja habituada a viver dentro de casa. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About BOLOTA

What life with BOLOTA looks like

BOLOTA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 BOLOTA, answered.

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