Adopt ELLIE

Female · Adult · 7 years

A ELLIE was removed from a neglect situation and brought to the shelter. She is extremely gentle. She gets along well with other dogs, except when food is involved. In a home with other animals, as long as they are separated during mealtime, the ELLIE is a sweetheart! She does well on a leash and learns quickly, being quite obedient. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Ellie foi retirada de uma situação de negligência e trazida para o abrigo. É extremamente meiga. Dá-se bem com outros cães, exceto quando há comida envolvida. Numa casa com outros animais bastaria que estivessem separados na altura da refeição, pois quando não há comida, a Ellie é um amor! Anda bem à trela e aprende rápido, é bastante obediente. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ELLIE

What life with ELLIE looks like

ELLIE is a medium-sized adult 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: Resource guarding around food - needs to be fed separately from other animals

🇵🇹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 ELLIE, answered.

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