Felizardo

Shih Tzu · Male

Hello! I'm FELIZARDO! I'm the son of a tiny Shih Tzu mom. My siblings have all been adopted... and now it's my turn to be happy! That's why I'm called that. I'm a wonderful puppy, very friendly, cheerful and VERY, VERY playful! And I have energy to spare! I love playing, running, exploring and discovering the world! When I grow up, I should weigh a maximum of 10 kg, probably even less. I'm small in size, but huge in my desire to live and be loved! And you know what I'm looking for? A wonderful family that loves me for real, that has time for me, that plays with me and makes me feel part of the family. I'm a baby full of life and I need attention, companionship, games and lots of love! I'm not just looking for a house. I'm looking for a family for life! Could that family be yours? Also available for sponsorship!

About Felizardo

What life with Felizardo looks like

Felizardo is a small adult shih tzu dog waiting at Bianca APS 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 Felizardo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Felizardo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bianca APS handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Felizardo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Felizardo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bianca APS 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Felizardo 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 Felizardo 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 Bianca APS early rather than rehoming privately; they know Felizardo 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.
