BOSS

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

The BOSS and the sister were found on the street near the shelter. He is a big, lively dog. He has no idea of his size. He barely sees us, jumps to ask for affection. It's not by malice, just because he is so friendly. He is very gentle. He just wants to play. Gets along with all the dogs. Knows how to walk on a leash but can improve. The BOSS is a love. Deserves a good home. Will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and with microchip.

O Boss e a irmã foram encontrados na rua perto do abrigo. É um cachorrão cheio de vida. Não tem noção do tamanho que tem. Mal nos vê, salta para pedir mimos. Não faz por mal, só por ser tão amigável. É muito meigo. Só quer brincar. Dá-se bem com todos os cães. Sabe andar de trela mas pode melhorar. O Boss é um amor. Merece um bom lar. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About BOSS

What life with BOSS looks like

BOSS is a large 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. 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 improvement

🇵🇹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 BOSS, answered.

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