How do I contact the shelter about KETTI?

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 KETTI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt KETTI 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 KETTI 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 KETTI 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 KETTI 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.

KETTI

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Ketti was adopted by us when she was still a puppy. A year later, she was returned because the family no longer had the conditions to continue caring for her. Ketti exhibited some destructive behaviors at home. She is still a very young and energetic dog, but also anxious, and the lack of adequate stimulation and exercise can contribute to this type of behavior. Her owners eventually realized they didn't have enough time for her, they needed to leave frequently, and Ketti ended up spending many hours alone or in the care of an elderly family member who wasn't able to keep up with the energy of such a young dog. Adopting a puppy or a young dog requires time, availability, patience, and dedication. If these needs had been properly considered from the beginning, perhaps Ketti wouldn't have to return to the shelter a year later and start looking for a family again. Ketti now needs to find a family with time and availability to provide her with the exercise, stimulation, and attention she needs, and who is prepared to continue helping her grow and gain stability. She is an extremely sweet and gentle dog, who loves the company of people and easily forms bonds with those who give her attention. She is sociable with other dogs, walks well on a leash, and is used to living indoors. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, and with a microchip.

A Ketti foi adotada por nós quando era ainda cachorra. Um ano depois, foi devolvida porque a família deixou de ter condições para continuar a cuidar dela. A Ketti apresentava alguns comportamentos destrutivos em casa. É uma cadela ainda muito jovem e cheia de energia, mas também ansiosa, e a falta de estímulos e de exercício adequados pode contribuir para este tipo de comportamentos. Os seus tutores acabaram por perceber que não tinham tempo suficiente para ela, precisavam de se ausentar com frequência e a Ketti acabava por passar muitas horas sozinha ou ao cuidado de um familiar idoso, que não tinha capacidade para acompanhar e gerir a energia de uma cadela tão jovem. Adotar um cachorro ou um cão jovem exige tempo, disponibilidade, paciência e dedicação. Se estas necessidades tivessem sido devidamente ponderadas desde o início, talvez a Ketti não tivesse agora, um ano depois, de regressar ao abrigo e começar novamente à procura de uma família. A Ketti precisa agora de encontrar uma família com tempo e disponibilidade para lhe proporcionar o exercício, os estímulos e a atenção de que necessita, e que esteja preparada para continuar a ajudá-la a crescer e a ganhar estabilidade. É uma cadela extremamente meiga e doce, que adora a companhia das pessoas e cria facilmente laços com quem lhe dá atenção. É sociável com outros cães, passeia bem à trela e está habituada a viver dentro de casa. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada e com microchip.

About KETTI

What life with KETTI looks like

KETTI is a medium-sized 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. 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.
