Linda

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

I am a senior dog, but I still have a lot of love and joy to give. Date of birth: 23.12.2014 My story: I arrived at the shelter in November 2025. My family brought me because my owner, who was already old, got very sick and had to be hospitalized. Unfortunately, he no longer had the means to take care of me, despite having always loved and treated me very well. My temperament: I am a senior dog, but I still have a lot of love and joy to give. I have energy, I love receiving attention and affection, and I am very happy when I go for walks. I am very gentle and get along well with everyone at the shelter - both people and other dogs. Despite that, I don't like being here very much... I spent my whole life in a house and that is what I most wish to return to. I'm looking for a caring family that will give me a quiet and comfortable home, where I can spend my golden years with the same love I have always known.

Sou uma cadela sénior, mas ainda tenho muito amor e alegria para dar. Data de nascimento: 23.12.2014 A minha história: cheguei ao abrigo em novembro de 2025. A minha família trouxe-me porque o meu dono, já idoso, ficou muito doente e teve de ser internado no hospital. Infelizmente, deixou de ter condições de cuidar de mim, apesar de me ter amado e tratado sempre muito bem. O meu temperamento: sou uma cadela sénior, mas ainda tenho muito amor e alegria para dar. Tenho energia, adoro receber atenção e mimos, e fico muito feliz quando me levam a passear. Sou muito meiga e dou-me bem com todos no abrigo — tanto pessoas como outros cães. Apesar disso, não gosto muito de estar aqui…. passei toda a minha vida numa casa e é isso que mais desejo voltar a ter. Procuro uma família carinhosa que me dê um lar tranquilo e confortável, onde eu possa viver os meus anos dourados com o mesmo amor que sempre conheci.

About Linda

What life with Linda looks like

Linda is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Linda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Linda?
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 Linda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Linda 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 Linda 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 Linda 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 Linda 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.
