Kiko

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I moved to the Cadela Carlota shelter in August 2025. I was born and raised on a property, along with several members of my family. However, there came a time when we had to be handed over, when the owner of the property informed our owner that he could no longer keep the dogs there. We were seven dogs in total and were taken in together at the shelter, where we have lived since then.

fui viver para o abrigo da Cadela Carlota em agosto de 2025. Nasci e cresci num terreno, juntamente com vários membros da minha família. No entanto, chegou um momento em que tivemos de ser entregues, quando o proprietário do terreno informou o nosso dono de que já não poderia manter os cães ali. Éramos sete cães no total e fomos acolhidos juntos no abrigo, onde vivemos desde então.

About Kiko

What life with Kiko looks like

Kiko is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota in Cadela Carlota.

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 Kiko, answered.

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