How do I contact the shelter about Charlie?

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

Can I adopt Charlie 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 Charlie 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 Charlie 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 Charlie 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.

Charlie

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

I have a lot of energy — I love long walks, running, and above all, receiving attention from humans. Date of birth: 03/28/2024 My life story: it all started in May 2025, when I was rescued from the streets of Lagos by a family who, not finding my previous owner, decided to give me a new chance. For some time, I lived with them and formed strong bonds — I really liked them and also the dogs that already lived in the house. Unfortunately, despite all the affection, they realized that I am a very dependent dog. I felt very sad when left alone and, therefore, cried and made noise. With great regret, in July 2025, the family had to take me to the shelter, hoping that I would find someone who understands my needs and can give me a permanent home. My temperament: I am a friendly, sociable dog with people and other dogs. I have a lot of energy — I love long walks, running, and above all, receiving attention from humans. Sometimes I can be a bit possessive when there is food and another dog around, but I am not aggressive and get along well with my four-legged companions. I am looking for a present family, with time and availability to take me for walks, give me affection, and be with me. I don't handle loneliness well. If you give me love, attention, and don't leave me alone for too long, I promise to repay you with all the affection I have to give.

Tenho muita energia — adoro longos passeios, correr e, acima de tudo, receber a atenção dos humanos. Data de nascimento: 28.03.2024 A minha história de vida: tudo começou em maio de 2025, quando fui resgatado das ruas de Lagos por uma família que, não encontrando o meu antigo dono, decidiu dar-me uma nova oportunidade. Durante algum tempo, vivi com eles e criei laços fortes — gostava muito deles e também dos cães que já viviam na casa. Infelizmente, apesar de todo o carinho, perceberam que eu sou um cão muito carente. Sentia-me muito triste quando ficava sozinho e, por isso, chorava e fazia barulho. Com muita pena, em julho de 2025, a família teve de me levar para o abrigo, na esperança de que eu encontre alguém que compreenda as minhas necessidades e me possa dar um lar definitivo. O meu temperamento: sou um cão simpático, sociável com pessoas e com outros cães. Tenho muita energia — adoro longos passeios, correr e, acima de tudo, receber a atenção dos humanos. Por vezes, posso ser um pouco possessivo quando há comida e outro cão por perto, mas não sou agressivo e dou-me bem com os meus companheiros de quatro patas. Procuro uma família presente, com tempo e disponibilidade para me levar a passear, dar mimos e estar comigo. Não lido bem com a solidão. Se me derem amor, atenção e não me deixarem muito tempo sozinho, prometo retribuir com todo o carinho que tenho para dar.

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

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

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.
