How do I contact the shelter about CHARLIE?

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 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 — 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 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 O Cantinho da Milu 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

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 6 years

Charlie and Tini are 6 years old with one simple request: to stay together. They grew up side by side, always with people but outdoors. Life changed when their family moved to an apartment and could no longer keep them. These two sweet, calm, and extremely gentle galgos lost everything they knew through no fault of their own. They like children and know how to walk on a leash. They don't like cats. Above all, they have each other - this bond is all they have left and separating them would be unthinkable and too cruel. They've already lost their family; we cannot take away the love that unites them. Our greatest dream is to give them what they've never had: a real home where they can be house dogs, feel the warmth of a sofa, receive affection, and discover companionship. Will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, sterilized and microchipped.

PT·Show original

A Tini e a Charlie têm 6 anos e um pedido muito simples: continuar juntas. Cresceram lado a lado, sempre com pessoas, mas no exterior. A vida mudou, a família foi viver para um apartamento e deixou de ter condições para as manter. E assim, sem culpa delas, perderam tudo o que conheciam. São duas galgas doces, calmas e extremamente meigas. Gostam de crianças, sabem passear à trela. Não gostam de gatos. Acima de tudo, têm uma à outra. Esse laço é tudo o que lhes resta e separá-las seria impensável, cruel demais. Já perderam a família, não podemos tirar-lhes também o amor que as une O nosso maior sonho é dar-lhes aquilo que nunca tiveram: um lar de verdade. Um lugar onde possam ser cães de casa, sentir o calor de um sofá, receber mimos, partilhar os dias e descobrir o que é companhia. Queremos que saibam como é pertencer, como é adormecer tranquilas sabendo que alguém está ali por elas. Não vamos desistir até encontrarmos a família certa para a Tini e a Charlie. Se sente o coração a apertar ao ler isto, talvez seja porque elas estão à sua espera. Ajude-nos a encontrar esse lar, nem que seja através de uma partilha. Serão entregues vacinadas, desparasitadas, esterilizadas e com microchip.

About CHARLIE

What life with CHARLIE looks like

CHARLIE is a medium-sized adult galgo español dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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.

Note from the shelter: Bonded pair - must be adopted together with Tini

🇵🇹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.
