FLORA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Flora was found on the road dragging a chain, followed by her seven small puppies. This is the story told by the person who brought her to the shelter. From day one, Flora won us over with her sweetness. She trusted us immediately, worrying only about keeping her pups safe and receiving some affection. All of her babies have already found families. Now it's Flora's turn to find a home too. She is an extremely gentle dog, loves people's attention, and when she forms a bond with someone, follows that person around the shelter like a shadow. She gets along very well with other dogs and walks well on a leash. She will be given up vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

PT·Show original

A Flora foi encontrada na estrada a arrastar uma corrente, seguida pelos seus sete pequenos cachorros. Foi essa a história contada pela pessoa que a levou até ao abrigo. Desde o primeiro dia, a Flora conquistou-nos pela sua doçura. Confiou em nós de imediato, preocupando-se apenas em manter os seus cachorros em segurança e em receber um pouco de carinho. Todos os seus bebés já encontraram família. Agora é a vez da Flora encontrar também um lar. É uma cadela extremamente meiga, adora a atenção das pessoas e, quando cria uma ligação com alguém, segue essa pessoa pelo abrigo como uma verdadeira sombra. Dá-se muito bem com outros cães e passeia bem à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About FLORA

What life with FLORA looks like

FLORA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An young 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 FLORA, answered.

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