Daisy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

I am a very shy little dog, and when I feel a human approaching, I run away and hide. Date of birth: 01.07.2019 My life story: my inseparable companion, Daisy, and I appeared at a house in the area of Praia da Luz, where a couple was feeding us and wanted to take care of us. However, because we were very shy, we never felt comfortable entering the house, preferring to live outside. When the couple had to move, they could not continue taking care of us, and in November 2025, we were taken in by the Cadela Carlota shelter, where we have lived ever since. My temperament: I am a very shy little dog, and when I feel a human approaching, I run away and hide. I feel safe and protected next to my companion Jack, with whom I have always lived and fully trust. Outside of him, I still cannot trust anyone else. If I find a home, my wish is to go with Jack - together we would be very happy in a home with an outdoor space, where we could be comfortable and live our lives at our own pace, in peace and respect for our time.

Sou uma cadelinha muito tímida e, quando sinto um humano aproximar-se, fujo e escondo-me. Data de nascimento: 01.07.2019 A minha história de vida: eu e a minha companheira inseparável, a Daisy, aparecemos numa casa na zona da Praia da Luz, onde vivia um casal que nos alimentava e quis cuidar de nós. No entanto, por sermos muito tímidos, nunca nos sentimos à vontade para entrar em casa, preferindo viver no exterior. Quando o casal teve de mudar de habitação, acabou por não conseguir continuar a cuidar de nós e, em novembro de 2025, fomos acolhidos no abrigo da Cadela Carlota, onde vivemos desde então. O meu temperamento: sou uma cadelinha muito tímida e, quando sinto um humano aproximar-se, fujo e escondo-me. Sinto-me segura e protegida ao lado do meu companheiro Jack, com quem sempre vivi e em quem confio plenamente. Fora dele, ainda não consigo confiar em mais ninguém. Se encontrar uma casa, o meu desejo é ir com o Jack — juntos seríamos muito felizes num lar com espaço exterior, onde pudéssemos estar à vontade e viver a vida ao nosso próprio ritmo, com tranquilidade e respeito pelo nosso tempo.

About Daisy

What life with Daisy looks like

Daisy 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Daisy, answered.

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