Jay arrived together with his brother Cole after their family could no longer care for them. He is a bit more shy and wary than his brother, but once he gets to know you, he is just as friendly and affectionate as Cole. He is used to human company and cuddles. Sociable with some dogs.

Dog-specific pheromone diffuser. Worth it for the trip home.
Worth the upgrade — rescues often have joint issues from kennels.

Jay is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Rescue Algarve in Faro.
An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.
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.
