Katy

Female

Characteristics: vaccinated and dewormed I was baptized Katy on the day I arrived at the shelter. I was walking on a national road where trucks pass all day long, and whoever found me managed to save me from certain death, as I, in my naivety, was walking towards the road. What a stroke of luck. I am very affectionate and love cuddles and kisses. And who doesn't love that?

Características: vacinada e desparasitada Fui batizada de Katy no dia em que cheguei ao abrigo. Eu andava numa estrada nacional onde passam camiões durante todo o dia e quem me encontrou conseguiu salvar-me da morte certa, pois eu, na minha ignorância, estava a caminhar em direção à estrada. Que sorte que tive. Sou muito amorosa e adoro colo e beijos. E quem não adora? 😉 Também disponível para apadrinhamento !

About Katy

What life with Katy looks like

Katy is a small adult dog waiting at Bianca APS in Portugal.

An 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 Katy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Katy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bianca APS handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Katy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Katy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bianca APS 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 Katy 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 Katy 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 Bianca APS early rather than rehoming privately; they know Katy 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.
