CONNIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

A CONNIE was left at the shelter by her own owners. She was in heat. They also left 2 other female dogs, one in heat and another with 5 newborn puppies. People continue to not sterilize their pets. Incredible! CONNIE is a bit shy when she doesn't know people, but it's just a matter of time until she gains trust. She is a gentle, calm dog, never barks, gets along with all the dogs and behaves well on leash walks. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and with a microchip.

A Connie foi deixada no abrigo pelos próprios donos. Estava com o cio. Também deixaram 2 outras cadelas, uma com cio e outra com 5 bebês recém nascidos. As pessoas continuam a não esterilizar os animais de casa. Incrível! A Connie é um pouco tímida quando não conhece as pessoas, mas é só uma questão de tempo até ganhar confiança. É uma cadela meiga, calminha, nunca ladra, dá-se bem com todos os cães e porta-se bem nos passeios de trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About CONNIE

What life with CONNIE looks like

CONNIE is a medium-sized adult mixed breed 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.

🇵🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting CONNIE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CONNIE?
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 CONNIE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CONNIE 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 CONNIE 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 CONNIE 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 CONNIE 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.
