DENTINHO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

The DENTINHO was found on the street and spent about 2 years in a municipal dog shelter. He is a bit suspicious. He is afraid of the touch of people he does not know. Who knows what may have happened in his past. When he gains trust in people, he is a sweetie: a gentle and friendly dog with all other dogs. The DENTINHO will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and with a microchip.

O Dentinho foi encontrado na rua e passou cerca de 2 anos num canil municipal. É um cão um pouco desconfiado. Tem medo do toque das pessoas que não conhece. Sabe-se lá o que terá acontecido no seu passado. Quando ganha confiança nas pessoas, é um doce: um cão meigo e sociável com todos os cães. O Dentinho será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About DENTINHO

What life with DENTINHO looks like

DENTINHO 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.

Note from the shelter: Fearful of strangers, needs patient socialization

🇵🇹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 DENTINHO, answered.

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