GIN

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

5 puppies were abandoned at an animal protector's gate. Later she asked for help to shelter the boys. They are shy but sweet and curious at the same time. They approach to smell us and wag their tails happily. They just need time to gain confidence and trust humans. In a home, they will transform. Gigi and Gulja are the most sociable, appreciating our company and affection. Gus is a bit more shy, but the shyest are Gin and Gustavo. Videos show each one's personality well. A home with other dogs is always an asset for shy dogs. The puppies will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, sterilized and microchipped.

5 cachorros foram abandonados ao portão de casa de uma protetora de animais. Mais tarde a mesma pediu-nos ajuda para acolher-mos os meninos. São tímidos, mas ao mesmo tempo meigos e curiosos. Aproximam-se para nos cheirar e abanam a cauda de felicidade. Precisam apenas de tempo para ganhar confiança e confiar nos humanos. Num lar, irão transformar-se. O Gigi e a Gulja são os mais sociáveis. Aprecisam a nossa companhia e os nossos mimos. O Gus é um pouco mais tímido, mas os mais tímidos são mesmo o Gin e o Gustavo. Os vídeos mostram bem a personalidade de cada um. Um lar com outros cães é sempre uma mais valia para cães tímidos. Os cachorros serão entregues vacinados, desparasitados, esterilizados e com microchip.

About GIN

What life with GIN looks like

GIN is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever 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 GIN, answered.

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