IPL

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 20 years

Some time ago I wandered around the schools in Leiria, where many people gathered, always hoping that someone would take me home and give me lots of affection. But the days went by, and I was left behind. I am an energetic, fun, and playful dog. I am small in size and young for my age. I am neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. I know how to be calm and I love going for a nice walk.

Há uns tempos deambulava pelas escolas de Leiria, onde se concentravam muitas pessoas, sempre na esperança que alguém me levasse para casa e me desse muitos miminhos.Mas os dias foram passando, e eu fiquei para trás.Sou um cão energético, divertido e brincalhão. Sou de porte pequeno e jovem para a minha idade. Estou castrado, microchipado e vacinado.Sei ser calmo e adoro acompanhar numa boa caminhada.

About IPL

What life with IPL looks like

IPL is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Associação Zoófila de Leiria - Fiéis Amigos in Portugal.

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.

🇵🇹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 IPL, answered.

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