Kingston in Portugal

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

A small, sweet male dog named Kingston, born on January 1, 2019, is looking for his "forever home." The little guy is incredibly sweet and loving towards humans, and also very affectionate with children. Kingston gets along well with other dogs at our partner animal shelter. He is social and compatible. He has also been tested with cats and reacted positively. Although the cat test was positive, this is no guarantee for future behavior with domestic cats. Of course, Kingston still needs to learn a few things - the dog alphabet, leash training, house training, and all the things that come with a normal dog and family life. It should be noted that every animal shelter dog, especially in view of its past, brings its own story. Therefore, we can never predict how the dog will actually develop and react to living with you/you in Germany. Kingston can travel to a foster or final home.

Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Alter: geb. 01.01.2019 Verträglichkeit: Hunde, Katzen, Kinder Kingston, ein kleiner süßer Rüde, der auf der Suche nach seinem “Für-immer-Zuhause” ist. Der kleine Mann ist ein unheimlich lieber kleiner Rüde, der offen und liebevoll zum Menschen ist. Zudem zeigt er sich auch sehr lieb gegenüber Kindern. Mit den anderen Hunden in unserem Partnertierheim zeigt sich Kingston sozial und verträglich. Alles in allem ein kleiner “King”, der bereit ist für seine Reise in ein neues Leben. Ein Katzentest wurde ebenfalls durchgeführt, wo er positiv auf Katzen reagierte. Auch wenn der Katzentest positiv ausfiel, stellt dies keine Garantie für das zukünftige Verhalten mit den heimischen Hauskatzen dar. Natürlich muss Kingston noch ein bisschen lernen – das Hunde-ABC, Leinenführigkeit, Stubenreinheit und all die Sachen, die zu einem normalen Hunde- und Familienleben gehören. Anzumerken ist, dass jeder Tierschutzhund, gerade auch im Hinblick auf seine Vergangenheit, seine eigene Geschichte mitbringt. Wir können deshalb nie vorhersagen, wie der Hund sich tatsächlich entwickelt und auf das Zusammenleben in Deutschland mit dir/euch reagieren wird. Kingston kann auf eine Pflege- oder Endstelle reisen.

About Kingston in Portugal

What life with Kingston in Portugal looks like

Kingston in Portugal is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pro Dog International e.V. in Talkau.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kingston in Portugal, answered.

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