Lassie

Mixed Breed · Female · 2 years

Characteristics: Vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed. I am the sweet Lassie, until recently I served as a hunting dog. After that task, I was placed in a dark our shelter, at the back of the house, where the sun never shone. It was damp, sad, and I had no joy. I lived with my friend Bonita, watching her pain and complaints without being able to do anything. It was terrible! Poor thing, she writhed on the ground, unable to walk and falling...she had a giant hernia in her belly, where all her organs, intestines, and uterus were...She was older than me and fortunately wasn't taken hunting because she was sick, but they did nothing to treat her until she reached the animal rescue association Bianca. I was happy when she was adopted! Now it's my turn!

Características: Vacinada, desparasitada e esterilizada. Sou a doce Lassie, até há pouco tempo eu servia para caçar, depois dessa tarefa, era posta num canil sombrio, nas traseiras da casa, onde nem o sol batia. Era húmido, triste e eu não tinha alegria nenhuma. Vivia com a minha amiga Bonita, e assistia às dores dela e aos seus queixumes sem poder fazer nada. Era terrível ! Pobrezinha, ela rebolava no chão, não conseguia andar e caía….ela tinha uma hérnia gigante na barriga, onde estava os órgãos todos, intestinos e útero…Era mais velha do que eu e felizmente não a levavam para a caça, pois era doente, mas também nada fizeram para a tratar até chegar à Associação Bianca. Fiquei feliz quando ela foi adotada! Agora falta a minha vez! Também disponível para apadrinhamento !

About Lassie

What life with Lassie looks like

Lassie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Bianca APS 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 Lassie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lassie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bianca APS 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 — Bianca APS 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 Bianca APS 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.
