Adopt JOOMA

Female · Young · 2 years

A JOOMA was found on the street, extremely thin and with hair loss. After two months at the shelter, she completely transformed and is now dazzling. She gained weight and her coat grew beautiful, shiny, and with a wonderful color. She is very gentle and sweet with people, gets along well with other dogs, and walks very well on a leash. We also know that she likes to go for car rides. She will be given vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

Ganhou peso e o pelo cresceu bonito, brilhante e com uma cor maravilhosa. É muito meiga e doce com as pessoas, dá-se bem com outros cães e passeia muito bem à trela. Também sabemos que gosta de andar de carro. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About JOOMA

What life with JOOMA looks like

JOOMA is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 JOOMA, answered.

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