Lello

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Fui acolhido com a minha irmã, a Melga. A minha irmã já foi adotada há muito tempo.Dizem que sou um cão extraordinário, meigo, brincalhão, sociável e desajeitado.Como todos os cães de porte grande, tem bastante energia mas é muito obediente.Procuro uma família, que seja desportista e goste de dar umas boas caminhadas e/ou corridas.Sou de porte grande, estou castrado, vacinado e microchipado.

About Lello

What life with Lello looks like

Lello is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Associação Zoófila de Leiria - Fiéis Amigos in Portugal.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 Lello, answered.

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