CARINHA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

A CARINHA was brought to the shelter by her owner who had accumulated several dogs without being able to care for them. CARINHA is very gentle and docile, although a bit shy, probably because she had never known human kindness. She wants to trust and every day she opens up a little more. She loves other dogs and is very playful. She walks well on a leash. CARINHA will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

A Carinha foi entregue no abrigo pelo seu dono que acumulou vários cães sem ter condições para tratar deles. A Carinha é muito meiga e dócil, embora um pouco tímida, provavelmente porque nunca tinha conhecido a bondade humana. Quer confiar e todos os dias se abre um pouco mais. Adora outros cães e é muito brincalhona. Passeia bem com trela. A Carinha será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About CARINHA

What life with CARINHA looks like

CARINHA 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 CARINHA, answered.

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