KIM

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A KIM was found on the street with her babies. She was very scared, very nervous, growled when we tried to approach. Actually, she was just defending her babies. Time passed and KIM gained trust in us. Today she is a very sociable, very affectionate dog, loves pampering. She still gets scared in some occasional situations but quickly overcomes it when comforted. She is really a sweetie. The KIM will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and with a microchip.

A Kim foi encontrada na rua com os seus bebês. Estava muito assustada, muito nervosa, rosnava quando nos tentávamos aproximar. Na verdade estava só a defender os seus bebês. O tempo passou e a Kim foi ganhando confiança em nós. Hoje é uma cadela super sociável, meiguíssima, adora miminhos. Ainda se assusta em algumas situações pontuais mas ultrapassa depressa quando confortada. É mesmo um doce. A Kim será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About KIM

What life with KIM looks like

KIM is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 KIM, answered.

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