JOSY

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

A JOSY was found on the street along with her brother and both were taken to the shelter. JOSY was once adopted, but was returned shortly after because, allegedly, she jumped over the fence. She is a large dog, and yes, she is perfectly capable of jumping, but dogs should not be left alone in the yard without company or stimulation. She was probably bored and looking for attention. At the shelter, she never tried to jump any fence. We are sure there is a much better family waiting for her. JOSY is very sweet, gentle, and friendly with people and other dogs. She is always in a good mood, wagging her tail, not shy, and a easygoing and adaptable dog. She walks well on a leash. Whoever adopts her will be very lucky! JOSY will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

A Josy foi encontrada na rua juntamente com o irmão e ambos foram levados para o abrigo. A Josy chegou a ser adotada, mas foi devolvida pouco tempo depois porque, alegadamente, saltava a vedação. É uma cadela de porte grande e, sim, é perfeitamente capaz de saltar, mas os cães não devem ser deixados sozinhos no quintal sem companhia nem estímulos. Provavelmente estava aborrecida e à procura de atenção. No abrigo, nunca tentou saltar nenhuma vedação. Temos a certeza de que há uma família muito melhor à espera dela. A Josy é muito doce, meiga e sociável com pessoas e com outros cães. Está sempre bem-disposta, a abanar a cauda, não é tímida e é uma cadela fácil e adaptável. Passeia bem à trela. Quem a adotar vai ter muita sorte! A Josy será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About JOSY

What life with JOSY looks like

JOSY is a large young adult mixed breed 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. 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 JOSY, answered.

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