Adopt Kelly

Mixed Breed · Female · 2 years

Characteristics: Vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed. I was adopted somewhere on a whim! Because puppies are always so adorable, but people forget they grow up… So as I grew up, they tied me outside in terrible conditions to the point where the police were called. And that's how I ended up at our shelter. People still can't seem to understand that we are sentient beings! I Kelly, am gentle, like all dogs, and promise to be faithful and devoted to my future family. Does this promise hold true?

Características: Vacinada, desparasitada e esterilizada Fui adotada algures por impulso! Porque os bebés são sempre muito fofinhos, mas esquecem-se que crescem… Então como cresci, amarraram-me lá fora em condições tristes ao ponto de chamarem a polícia. E foi assim que vim parar à Bianca. As pessoas ainda não conseguem perceber que nós somos seres sencientes! Eu Kelly, sou meiga, gosto de todos os cães e prometo ser fiel e dedicada à minha futura família. Vale esta promessa? Também disponível para apadrinhamento !

About Kelly

What life with Kelly looks like

Kelly is a medium-sized adult mixed breed 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 Kelly, answered.

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