Lobito

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

I have a lot of energy and a lot of love to give. I love people and love attention and affection. Date of birth: 07.12.2019 size: large My life story: me and my brothers were abandoned on a farm, still babies. The owner of the farm took care of us and all my brothers ended up being adopted, except me, who was left alone. I ended up being handed over to the dog shelter in Lagos because they didn't want me on the farm, as I had become very big and active. In November 2020 the dog shelter handed me over to the shelter, where I have lived until now. My temperament: having lived during my first year of life on a farm, alone and without attention, I am a bit insecure and I don't like being alone at all. I like the company of other dogs and people. I am dependent and like to be given attention. I have a lot of energy and like to run and play. I am a good dog. I would fit well in any family as I have a lot of love to give.

Eu tenho muita energia e muito amor para dar. Adoro pessoas e adoro atenção e mimos. Data de nascimento: 07.12.2019 Porte: grande A minha história de vida: eu e os meus irmãos fomos abandonados numa quinta, ainda bebés. O dono da quinta tomou conta de nós e todos os meus irmãos acabaram por ser adotados, menos eu, que fiquei sozinho. Acabei por ser entregue na Canil de Lagos pois não me queriam na quinta, por me ter tornado muito grande e ativo. Em novembro de 2020 o Canil entregou-me no abrigo, onde tenho vivido até agora. O meu temperamento: por ter vivido durante o meu primeiro ano de vida numa quinta, sozinho e seu atenção, sou um pouco inseguro e não gosto nada de estar sozinho. Gosto da companhia dos outros cães e de pessoas. Sou carente e gosto que me deem atenção. Tenho muita energia e gosto de correr e brincar. Sou um bom cão. Ficaria bem em qualquer família pois tenho muito amor para dar.

About Lobito

What life with Lobito looks like

Lobito is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Lobito, answered.

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