GONZO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Gonzo was found on the street. He is shy when he doesn't know people. He just needs time to gain confidence. In a home he would transform, as you can see he even enjoys our lap and our petting. Gonzo gets along well with other dogs. He behaves well on leash walks. He will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, sterilized and with microchip.

PT·Show original

O Gonzo foi encontrado na rua. É tímido quando não conhece as pessoas. Só precisa de tempo para ganhar confiança. Numa casa ele iria transformar-se, pois nota-se que até aprecia o nosso colo e as nossas festinhas. O Gonzo dá-se bem com outros cães. Porta-se bem nos passeios de trela. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About GONZO

What life with GONZO looks like

GONZO is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 GONZO, answered.

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