BOMMEL

Male · Young · 3 years

A Bruma was found on the street with her babies and taken to the municipal dog shelter. There were 6 puppies: 2 females (Benicia and Brittni) and 4 males (Bert, Biggie, BOMMEL and Bugsy). The BOMMEL is a lovely dog: very gentle and friendly with all the dogs. It will be large in size because the mother Bruma (appears in the photos) is a crossbreed of Rafeira Alentejana. The BOMMEL does not yet know how to walk on a leash, but is young, and will learn quickly. It will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and with a microchip.

A Bruma foi encontrada na rua com os seus bebês e levada para o canil municipal. Eram 6 cachorros: 2 fêmeas (Benicia e Brittni) e 4 machos (Bert, Biggie, Bommel e Bugsy). O Bommel é um cachorro adorável: muito meigo e sociável com todos os cães. Ficará de porte grande pois a mãe Bruma (aparece nas fotos) é cruzada de Rafeira Alentejana. O Bommel ainda não sabe andar de trela, mas é jóvem, vai aprender depressa. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About BOMMEL

What life with BOMMEL looks like

BOMMEL is a large young adult 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Needs leash training

🇵🇹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 BOMMEL, answered.

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