LUCY

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Lucy was found on the road dragging a heavy chain attached to her neck. It's hard to understand why someone would tie a dog to a chain. Especially when it comes to a young, sweet and friendly female like Lucy. Lucy is extremely gentle, kind and loves human company. She's always looking for attention and follows volunteers everywhere hoping to get more pets. She gets along very well with other dogs, loves playing and walks well on a leash. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and microchipped.

PT·Show original

A Lucy foi encontrada na estrada a arrastar uma corrente pesada presa ao pescoço. É difícil compreender porque é que alguém prende um cão a uma corrente. Ainda mais quando se trata de uma cadela tão jovem, doce e amigável como a Lucy. A Lucy é extremamente meiga, gentil e adora a companhia das pessoas. Está sempre à procura de atenção e segue os voluntários para todo o lado na esperança de receber mais alguns mimos. Dá-se muito bem com outros cães, adora brincar e passeia bem à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About LUCY

What life with LUCY looks like

LUCY is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting LUCY, answered.

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