Bravo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

I am shy and do not trust people much. But I get along well with my dog companions. Date of birth: 11.2016 size: medium My life story: me and my three brothers were picked up by one of the volunteers from the animal rescue association in the middle of the bush, in the area of Barão de São João, in 2017, when we were only three months old. We were taken to the shelter, but we were very confused and very scared, we never ended up trusting people 100%. We were always cautious and shy dogs even though, in the shelter, no one ever treated us badly. My temperament: my name, Bravo, was given to me because I was cautious and reacted badly if people came near me. Of my siblings, I was always the most fearless. I am not aggressive, just scared. But I like being with other dogs and having their company.

Sou tímido e não confio muito nas pessoas. mas dou-me bem com os meus companheiros cães. Data de nascimento: 11.2016 A minha história de vida: eu e os meus três irmãos fomos recolhidos por um dos voluntários da associação no meio do mato, na zona de Barão de São João, em 2017, quando tínhamos apenas três meses de idade. Fomos levados para o abrigo, mas estávamos muito confusos e com muito medo, nunca chegamos a confiar 100% nas pessoas. Fomos sempre cães desconfiados e tímidos apesar de, no abrigo, nunca ninguém nos ter tratado mal.. O meu temperamento: o meu nome, Bravo, foi-me dado porque eu era desconfiado e reagia mal se as pessoas se chegassem ao pé de mim. Dos meus irmãos eu fui sempre o mais destemido. Não sou agressivo, apenas assustado. Mas gosto de estar com outros cães e de ter a companhia deles.

About Bravo

What life with Bravo looks like

Bravo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 Bravo, answered.

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