Lara

Mixed Breed · Female

Lara is serene—a creature that goes unnoticed thanks to her silence... yet leaves a deep mark on those who get to know her. ✨ She’s reserved, calm, and sociable with other animals; she prefers to observe the world in her own way, with tranquility and gentleness—perhaps precisely because she’s discreet. Maybe it’s because her inner radiance doesn’t impose itself; rather, it reveals itself only to those who have the patience to see it with their heart. 💛 Lara doesn’t ask for much—just the chance to feel at home once more. Date of Birth: 10/2023 Medium size

A Lara é serena, é um animal que passa despercebido pelo seu silêncio… mas que deixa uma marca profunda em quem a conhece. ✨ É reservada, tranquila e sociável com outros animais prefere observar o mundo à sua maneira, com calma e doçura. Talvez por ser discreta. Talvez porque o seu brilho não se impõe, apenas se revela a quem tem paciência para a ver com o coração. 💛 A Lara não pede muito… apenas a oportunidade de voltar a sentir-se em casa.

About Lara

What life with Lara looks like

Lara is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associacao Midas 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 Lara, answered.

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