LUKE

Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

Luke was surrendered to the shelter by his owner who could no longer care for him due to health reasons. Unfortunately, Luke should never have lived in the conditions he did. He spent his days confined to a small kennel with no walks or opportunities to get out. Luke deserves so much better. He is an extremely sweet and gentle dog. He lets everyone do everything to him without any problem and showed tremendous patience during a grooming session that lasted about five hours. He gets along well with other dogs and walks very well on a leash. He will be surrendered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

O Luke foi entregue no abrigo pelo seu tutor, que deixou de poder cuidar dele por motivos de saúde. Infelizmente, o Luke nunca deveria ter vivido nas condições em que estava. Passava os dias fechado num pequeno canil, sem passeios e sem oportunidade de sair. O Luke merece muito melhor. É um cão extremamente doce e gentil. Deixa que lhe façam tudo sem qualquer problema e demonstrou uma enorme paciência durante uma sessão de grooming que durou cerca de cinco horas. Dá-se bem com outros cães e passeia muito bem à trela. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About LUKE

What life with LUKE looks like

LUKE is a medium-sized adult collie dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 LUKE, answered.

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