JESSIE

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 8 years

A JESSIE was left at the shelter by her own owner who had to sell the house. As soon as she arrived at the shelter, she adapted quickly. She already walks back and forth without fear. She is a very affectionate dog. She loves people. She also gets along well with all the dogs. She pulls a lot during leash walks because she is reactive when she sees other dogs, but it's just a matter of training. The JESSIE will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

PT·Show original

A Jessie foi deixada no abrigo pelo próprio dono que teve que vender a casa. Mal chegou ao abrigo, adaptou-se logo. Já anda a passear dum lado para o outro, sem medos. É uma cadela muito meiga. Adora pessoas. Também se dá bem com todos os cães. Puxa bastante nos passeios de trela pois fica reativa quando vê outros cães, mas é só uma questão de educação/treino. A Jessie será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About JESSIE

What life with JESSIE looks like

JESSIE is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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.

🇵🇹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 JESSIE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about JESSIE?
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 JESSIE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt JESSIE 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is JESSIE 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 JESSIE 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 JESSIE 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.
