FREDDIE

English Bulldog · Male · Senior · 10 years

The owner of FREDDIE passed away. No family member wanted to keep the animal due to its mange. It was surrendered to the animal rescue association. It was properly treated. It wasn't a difficult case at all! Just medication, pipettes, and baths with appropriate shampoos. The fur has almost fully grown back. It hardly looks the same dog! FREDDIE is a very gentle dog. It loves human attention, cuddles, treats, and lots of kisses! It loves taking baths, meaning it loves being taken care of. It behaves very well on leash walks. It is very attached to people. If left alone at home, it starts to cry. An apartment with scratchy neighbors won't be an option! FREDDIE is quite reactive to other dogs. Ideally, it should be a "only child." FREDDIE will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.

PT·Show original

A dona do Freddie faleceu. Nenhum familiar quis ficar com o animal por ter sarna. Foi cedido à Associação. Foi devidamente tratado. Não era nenhum bicho de 7 cabeças! Apenas medicação, pipetas e banhos com shampoos adequados. O pêlo já cresceu quase todo. Nem parece o mesmo cão! O Freddie é um cão muito meigo. Adora atenção humana, colo, mimos e muitos beijinhos! Adora tomar banho, ou seja adora que tratem dele. Porta-se muito bem nos passeios de trela. Apega-se muito às pessoas. Se ficar sozinho em casa, começa a chorar. Um apartamento com vizinhos comichosos não será opção! O Freddie é bastante reativo a outros cães. Idealmente deverá ser "filho único". O Freddie será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About FREDDIE

What life with FREDDIE looks like

FREDDIE is a medium-sized senior english bulldog 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.

Note from the shelter: Separation anxiety, requires constant companionship, reactive to other dogs

🇵🇹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 FREDDIE, answered.

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