How do I contact the shelter about Jack?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cadela Carlota & Companhia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jack if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Jack 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 Jack 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 Cadela Carlota & Companhia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jack 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.

Jack

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

I am calm, I like tranquility and appreciate long sun baths. Date of birth: 01.07.2015 My story: my inseparable companion Daisy and I appeared at a house in the area of Praia da Luz, where a couple who fed us and wanted to take care of us lived. However, because we were very shy, we never felt comfortable entering the house, preferring to live outside. When the couple had to move, they ended up not being able to continue taking care of us and in November 2025, we were taken in by the shelter of Cadela Carlota, where we have lived since then. My temperament: I am an elderly dog, shy and reserved, who does not allow humans to touch me. When someone approaches, I tend to move away, as I still have fear of direct contact. I am calm, I like tranquility and appreciate long sun baths. My greatest desire is to have some freedom and a quiet routine again. I would not mind being adopted by a understanding family, with outdoor space, that respects my time and allows me to live peacefully, as I always have, enjoying the sun and the peace of my own pace.

Sou calmo, gosto de tranquilidade e aprecio longos banhos de sol. Data de nascimento: 01.07.2015 A minha história: eu e a minha companheira inseparável, a Daisy, aparecemos numa casa na zona da Praia da Luz, onde vivia um casal que nos alimentava e quis cuidar de nós. No entanto, por sermos muito tímidos, nunca nos sentimos à vontade para entrar em casa, preferindo viver no exterior. Quando o casal teve de mudar de habitação, acabou por não conseguir continuar a cuidar de nós e, em novembro de 2025, fomos acolhidos no abrigo da Cadela Carlota, onde vivemos desde então. O meu temperamento: sou um cão sénior, tímido e reservado, que não se deixa tocar por humanos. Quando alguém se aproxima, tendo a afastar-me, pois ainda tenho receio do contacto direto. Sou calmo, gosto de tranquilidade e aprecio longos banhos de sol. O meu maior desejo é voltar a ter alguma liberdade e uma rotina tranquila. Não me importaria de ser adotado por uma família compreensiva, com espaço exterior, que respeite o meu tempo e me permita viver de forma serena, como sempre vivi, desfrutando do sol e da paz do meu próprio ritmo.

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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.
