Adopt CRIS

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

A CRIS has been on the street for some time, too long. A CRIS is very affectionate, with a "different" bark that characterizes her and she loves the game of "fetching the ball." The first contact with new "dog friends" does not always go well right away, but it's just a matter of time, she walks very well on a leash. A CRIS really wants to be happy in a family, surrounded by love, attention, protection, cuddles, and many balls to play with. Let's all help A CRIS find a family that's just right for her! Female of undefined breed, estimated age: 5 years (October 2020), dewormed, vaccinated, and spayed.

A Cris andou algum tempo na rua, tempo demais. A Cris é muito meiguinha, dona de um ladrar “diferente” que tanto a caracteriza e adora o jogo de “ buscar a bolinha”. O primeiro contacto com novos “cãopanheiros” nem sempre corre logo bem, mas é só uma questão de tempo, anda muito bem de trela. A Cris quer muito ser feliz em família, rodeada de carinho, atenção, protecção, mimos e muitas bolinhas para brincar. Vamos todos ajudar a Cris a encontrar uma família á sua medida! Cadela de raça indefinida, idade estimada: 5 anos (Outubro 2020), desparasitada, vacinada e esterilizada.

About CRIS

What life with CRIS looks like

CRIS is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associação Quatro Patas e Focinhos in -387 Mealhada.

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 CRIS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CRIS?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associação Quatro Patas e Focinhos handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw CRIS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CRIS if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associação Quatro Patas e Focinhos 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 CRIS 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 CRIS 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 Associação Quatro Patas e Focinhos early rather than rehoming privately; they know CRIS 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.
