How do I contact the shelter about Casper?

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 Casper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Casper 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 Casper 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 Casper 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 Casper 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.

Casper

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I am so shy that I run away from all humans. But I really like other dogs, I trust them more than humans. Date of birth: 19.08.2021 size: small My life story: I lived on the street for a long time, in an area where people left food and water on the street for me to survive. But no one could catch me because I was very fast at running away. Until one day the people from the animal rescue association set up a trap and I ended up entering and getting stuck when I went to eat the chicken they had left inside. That's how I ended up living in the shelter, in August 2023. My temperament: I am very shy. I am very afraid of people and prefer to be calm, under anything that protects me. I like the company of dogs and I like to play with them. The people at the shelter have made a lot of effort to help me gain more confidence and they can already put the leash on me and walk with me on their lap. I don't do any harm, I just have a lot of fear. Everyone thinks I will get better and I hope they are right, because I would like to have a better life, where I wouldn't be afraid of everything.

Eu sou tão tímido que fujo de todos os humanos. Mas gosto muito dos outros cães, tenho mais confiança neles do que nos humanos. Data de nascimento: 19.08.2021 Porte: pequeno A minha história de vida: eu vivia há muito tempo na rua, numa zona onde as pessoas deixavam comida e água na rua para eu ir sobrevivendo. Mas nunca ninguém me conseguiu apanhar pois eu era muito rápido a fugir. Até que um dia o pessoal da associação montou uma armadilha e eu acabei por entrar e ficar preso quando fui comer o frango que tinham lá deixado dentro. Foi assim que acabei por ir viver para o abrigo, em agosto de 2023. O meu temperamento: eu sou muito tímido. Tenho muito medo das pessoas e prefiro estar sossegado, debaixo de qualquer coisa que me proteja. Gosto mais da companhia dos cães e gosto de brincar com eles. As pessoas do abrigo têm feito muito esforço para que eu ganhe mais confiança e até já me conseguem por a trela e andar comigo ao colo. Eu não faço mal, só tenho mesmo muito medo. Todos acham que eu vou melhorar e eu espero que tenham razão, pois gostaria de ter uma vida melhor, em que não tivesse receio de tudo.

About Casper

What life with Casper looks like

Casper is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

An 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.
