BROWNIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

A Brownie was left behind after her owners separated. Both abandoned the farm where they lived and left her to fend for herself. During that time, Brownie became pregnant, had puppies, and all of them contracted mange. It wasn't until the situation became very serious that one of the former owners took them to the shelter. Several weeks of treatment were needed, but both Brownie and her puppies recovered and are now healthy. Brownie is a wonderful dog. She is extremely gentle, affectionate, and loving. She loves human company and comes immediately when called. She has also been an exemplary mother to her puppies: patient, dedicated, and playful. She gets along very well with other dogs and walks well on a leash. She will be surrendered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Brownie foi deixada para trás depois de os seus tutores se separarem. Ambos abandonaram a quinta onde viviam e deixaram-na entregue à sua sorte. Durante esse período, a Brownie ficou grávida, teve os seus cachorros e acabaram todos por contrair sarna. Só quando a situação já era muito grave é que um dos antigos tutores os levou para o abrigo. Foram necessárias várias semanas de tratamento, mas tanto a Brownie como os seus cachorros recuperaram e estão agora saudáveis. A Brownie é uma cadela maravilhosa. É extremamente meiga, carinhosa e afetuosa. Adora a companhia das pessoas e vem imediatamente quando a chamam. Tem sido também uma mãe exemplar para os seus cachorros: paciente, dedicada e brincalhona. Dá-se muito bem com outros cães e passeia bem à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About BROWNIE

What life with BROWNIE looks like

BROWNIE 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.

🇵🇹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 BROWNIE, answered.

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