Índia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Description: Female, adult (estimated age: 3 years (May 2022)), medium size, spayed, dewormed, vaccinated. The Índia arrived with us very timid… the touch made her quite uncomfortable and very scared. We respected her time and space. Today, she is a confident little pup, very gentle, accepting and asking for cuddles, sociable with the other shelter dogs… but she still has some fears… nothing that a good dose of patience and lots of love can't resolve. The Índia is looking for “the Family” that will respect her as she is and protect and love her forever. Contact:

Descrição: Fêmea, adulta (idade estimada: 3 anos (Maio 2022)), porte médio, esterilizada, desparasitada, vacinada. A Índia chegou até nós muito medrosa… o toque deixava-a bastante desconfortável e muito assustada. Respeitámos o tempo e o espaço dela. Hoje é uma cadelinha confiante, muito meiguinha, aceita e pede miminhos, sociável com os cãopanheiros do abrigo…mas ainda mantém alguns receios… nada que uma boa dose de paciência e muito carinho não resolvam. A Índia procura “a Família” que a vai respeitar tal como ela é e a vai proteger e amar para sempre. Contacto: 916911176

About Índia

What life with Índia looks like

Índia is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Quatro Patas e Focinhos in Portugal.

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 Índia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Índia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Quatro Patas e Focinhos handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Índia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Índia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Quatro Patas e Focinhos 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 Índia 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 Índia 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 Quatro Patas e Focinhos early rather than rehoming privately; they know Índia 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.
