DAPHNE

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Daphne came to us from a municipal kennel after being found on the street with puppies. The puppies were adopted, but Daphne was transferred to our shelter. She was later adopted by someone who insisted on a young dog despite our suggestion of an older, calmer dog. Unfortunately, during a walk, the person fell because Daphne was still young and energetic, and she was returned shortly after. Several years have passed and Daphne is still waiting. She is extremely sweet and very attached to people. She loves attention, forms strong bonds with her caregivers, and has a gentle temperament. She walks well on leash, behaves well in cars, and has previously lived in a family environment. She is also sociable with other dogs. Daphne deserves a second chance - a home where she can finally be happy and part of a family. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, sterilized and microchipped.

A Daphne chegou até nós vinda de um canil municipal. Antes disso, tinha sido encontrada na rua com uma ninhada de cachorrinhos. Os bebés foram adotados diretamente do canil, mas a Daphne foi transferida para o nosso abrigo. Mais tarde, foi adotada por uma pessoa que insistiu em levar um cão jovem, apesar de termos sugerido que talvez um cão mais calmo e adulto fosse uma opção mais adequada. Infelizmente, durante um passeio, a pessoa caiu, pois a Daphne ainda era jovem e cheia de energia. Acabou por ser devolvida pouco depois. Desde então, passaram-se vários anos… e a Daphne continua à espera. A Daphne é uma cadela extremamente meiga e muito ligada às pessoas. Adora atenção, cria laços fortes com quem cuida dela e tem um temperamento doce. Anda bem à trela, porta-se bem no carro e, pelo que sabemos, já viveu em ambiente familiar. É também sociável com outros cães. A Daphne merece uma segunda oportunidade — um lar onde finalmente possa ser feliz e fazer parte de uma família. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About DAPHNE

What life with DAPHNE looks like

DAPHNE 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 DAPHNE, answered.

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