Adopt FELICIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

A FELICIA came to us from another shelter that was destroyed by floods in February in Portugal. She has been in shelter since she was a puppy. She is extremely sweet, but all she knows is life in the shelter, so she needs some socialization. Without a doubt, in a home with individual attention, she will flourish. She really enjoys the company of other dogs. She is a very sweet puppy who just needs an opportunity to have a loving home. FELICIA will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

A Felicia veio para nós de outro abrigo que foi destruído pelas cheias em Fevereiro, em Portugal. Está em abrigo desde que era uma cachorra. É extremamente doce, mas tudo o que conhece é a vida em abrigo, pelo que precisa de alguma socialização. Sem dúvida que, num lar com atenção individual, irá florescer. Gosta muito da companhia de outros cães. É uma cachorra muito doce que só precisa de uma oportunidade para ter um lar cheio de amor. A Felicia será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About FELICIA

What life with FELICIA looks like

FELICIA is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

Note from the shelter: Needs socialization due to lifelong shelter experience

🇵🇹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 FELICIA, answered.

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