JESSY

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Jessy arrived at the shelter a few months ago with her mother and siblings, just a few days old. She was adopted as soon as she started eating on her own, but the family returned her three months later because of behaviors that are perfectly normal for a puppy. They simply didn’t know how to train her or accept that puppies chew on objects, play with their mouths, and explore the world in this way. Jessy is a sweet, friendly female dog who behaves exactly as one would expect: like a puppy. There’s not much more to say! She gets along well with other dogs and walks nicely on a leash. She will be given up vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

PT·Show original

A Jessy chegou ao abrigo há alguns meses com a mãe e os irmãos, quando tinha apenas poucos dias de vida. Foi adotada assim que começou a comer sozinha, mas a família devolveu-a três meses depois, por comportamentos perfeitamente normais de um cachorro. Não souberam educá-la nem aceitar que os cachorros roem objetos, brincam com a boca e exploram o mundo dessa forma. A Jessy é uma cadela doce, amigável e comporta-se exatamente como aquilo que é: uma cachorra. Não há muito mais a dizer! Dá-se bem com outros cães e passeia bem à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada e com microchip.

About JESSY

What life with JESSY looks like

JESSY is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇹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 JESSY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about JESSY?
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 JESSY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt JESSY 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 JESSY 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 JESSY 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 JESSY 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.
