How do I contact the shelter about Chico?

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

Can I adopt Chico 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 Chico 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 Chico 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 Chico 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.

Chico

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

I am very smart and very active. I like to be always moving and to be challenged. Birth date: 01.01.2019 size: large My life story: I was taken to the shelter in May 2021, by the family that took me in when I appeared at the farm where they lived, in the area of Odiáxere. They liked me and wanted to keep me, but I did some foolish things, killed some chickens from the farm, and the landlady said I couldn't stay there. It was a pity... My temperament: I am very active and have a lot of energy. The volunteers say I am very smart and therefore play games with bottles and other objects, to keep me entertained. I don't like other dogs, I get along well only with some females. I get along very well with humans and love being taken for walks and playing with me. With them, the humans, I behave very well and am obedient. I learn very quickly and, well trained, I can learn all the tricks. I would love to have a family that dedicates a lot of time to me and provides me with a lot of exercise. I get bored when I have nothing to do and therefore need distractions and entertainment.

Eu sou muito inteligente e muito ativo. Gosto de estar sempre em movimento e de ser desafiado. Data de nascimento: 01.01.2019 Porte: grande A minha história de vida: fui levado para o abrigo em maio de 2021, pela família que me acolheu quando apareci na quinta onde viviam, na zona de Odiáxere. Eles gostavam de mim e queriam manter-me, mas eu fiz algumas asneiras, matei algumas galinhas da quinta, e a senhoria disse que eu não podia lá ficar. Foi pena… O meu temperamento: eu sou muito ativo e tenho muita energia. Os voluntários dizem que sou muito inteligente e, por isso, fazem jogos com garrafas e outros objetos, para eu ficar entretido. Não gosto muito dos outros cães, só me dou bem com algumas fêmeas. Dou-me muitíssimo bem com os humanos e adoro que me levem para passeios e que brinquem comigo. Com eles, os humanos, porto-me muito bem e sou obediente. Aprendo muito depressa e, bem treinado, consigo aprender todos os truques. Adorava ter uma família que me dedicasse muito tempo e que me proporcionasse muito exercício. Aborreço-me quando não tenho nada para fazer e, por isso, preciso de distrações e entretenimento.

About Chico

What life with Chico looks like

Chico 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.
