FLIP

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

FLIP and Flap always had a home and a owner who treated them very well, but unfortunately that person passed away. The dogs were left alone at home, fed by neighbors. We were asked to help take in these two adult males. FLIP is more shy. Flap is more comfortable. They are both gentle dogs. We hope they are lucky enough to have a home again. They will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed or neutered, and with a microchip.

O Flip e o Flap sempre tiveram uma casa e um dono que os tratava muito bem, mas infelizmente o mesmo faleceu. Os cães ficarm sós em casa, alimentados por vizinhos. Foi-nos pedido ajuda para acolher estes 2 machos adultos. O Flip é mais tímido. O Flap está mais à vontade. São ambos cães meigos. Esperamos que tenham a sorte de voltar a ter um lar. Serão entregues vacinados, desparasitados, esterilizados e com microchip.

About FLIP

What life with FLIP looks like

FLIP is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 FLIP, answered.

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