How do I contact the shelter about Lassie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cadela Carlota & Companhia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lassie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lassie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Lassie 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 Lassie 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 & Companhia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lassie 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.

Lassie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

I am gentle and calm with other dogs and humans. Date of birth: 01.01.2024 size: medium My life story: I lived the first years of my life in a house in Luz, with an elderly couple who, over time, lost the ability to take care of me. I then started living in a garage - I had basic care, but I was forgotten and left aside. In April 2025, after an appeal, Cadela Carlota took me in at her shelter. My temperament: due to the conditions in which I lived - isolated, without walks and without socialization - I am still a very shy and fearful dog. I had never walked on a leash outside until the shelter volunteers started taking me for walks. I am slowly learning how it is to live in an environment with many other dogs and different people. Everything is new for me, but I have hope that, with time and affection, I will become more confident. I am gentle and calm with other dogs and humans. I need a patient and very loving family, who has time to teach me everything I still don't know - and above all, who gives me the love I so desperately need.

Sou meiga e tranquila com os outros cães e com os humanos. Data de nascimento: 01.01.2024 A minha história de vida: Vivi os primeiros anos da minha vida numa casa na Luz, com um casal idoso que, com o tempo, foi perdendo a capacidade de cuidar de mim. Passei então a viver numa garagem — tinha cuidados básicos, mas fui sendo esquecida e deixada de lado. Em abril de 2025, após um apelo, a Cadela Carlota acolheu-me no seu abrigo. O meu temperamento: devido às condições em que vivi — isolada, sem passeios e sem socialização — sou ainda uma cadela muito tímida e cheia de medos. Nunca tinha saído à rua com trela, até que os voluntários do abrigo começaram a levar-me a passear. Estou a aprender aos poucos como é viver num ambiente com muitos outros cães e pessoas diferentes. Tudo é novo para mim, mas tenho esperança de que, com tempo e carinho, me tornarei mais confiante. Sou meiga e tranquila com os outros cães e com os humanos. Preciso de uma família paciente e muito carinhosa, que tenha tempo para me ensinar tudo o que ainda não sei — e, acima de tudo, que me dê o amor que tanto preciso.

About Lassie

What life with Lassie looks like

Lassie is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

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.
