How do I contact the shelter about CINDY?

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

Can I adopt CINDY 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 CINDY 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 CINDY 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 CINDY 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.

CINDY

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 6 years

A CINDY was found on the street. She was adopted but ended up being returned four months later due to her anxiety. She does not like being alone at home and suffers from separation anxiety, which leads her to destructive behaviors and wanting to escape through the window. She is a dog that needs someone with patience, time, and willingness to work on her trust and security. In return, she is extremely gentle, loyal, and obedient. She loves walking on a leash and behaves very well during walks. She gets along well with all other dogs. The ideal home for CINDY will be with people who spend a lot of time at home (retirees or those who work from home) and preferably those who already have other dogs. CINDY will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

PT·Show original

A Cindy foi encontrada na rua. Chegou a ser adotada, mas acabou por ser devolvida 4 meses depois devido à sua ansiedade. Não gosta de ficar sozinha em casa e sofre de ansiedade por separação, o que a leva a comportamentos destrutivos e a querer fugir pela janela. É uma cadela que precisa de alguém com paciência, tempo e vontade de trabalhar a sua confiança e segurança. Em contrapartida, é extremamente meiga, leal e obediente. Adora passear à trela e porta-se muito bem nos passeios. Dá-se bem com todos os outros cães. O lar ideal para a Cindy será com pessoas que passem muito tempo em casa (reformados ou quem trabalhe a partir de casa) e, de preferência, que já tenham outros cães. A Cindy será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About CINDY

What life with CINDY looks like

CINDY is a medium-sized adult labrador retriever 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: Severe separation anxiety, destructive behavior when alone, needs constant companionship or other dogs

🇵🇹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.
