HORTELÃ

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hortelã arrived at our shelter from a municipal kennel, where she was taken along with several other dogs, removed from a situation of very poor conditions, accumulation of animals and illegal breeding. She is a very sweet dog, a bit shy on first contact, but extremely gentle and kind. She gets along very well with other dogs and walks on a leash. She will be released vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and microchipped.

About HORTELÃ

What life with HORTELÃ looks like

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

A 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 HORTELÃ, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about HORTELÃ?: 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 HORTELÃ on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt HORTELÃ 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is HORTELÃ 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 HORTELÃ 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 HORTELÃ 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.
