How do I contact the shelter about LULU?

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 LULU on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt LULU 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 LULU 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 LULU 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 LULU 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.

LULU

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

LULU was found on the street when he was a puppy. He was rescued and lived his whole life in a home, where he was happy with the residents, who he accompanied so much and brought so much joy to. When the home closed, everyone left, residents, staff, management, but LULU was completely abandoned to his fate! The only person who did not turn their back on him was the cleaning staff member who continued to pass by the place to feed LULU on the street. Unable to bear seeing the animal like that, she asked us for help. That is how LULU arrived at Cantinho da Milu. He is very confused, nervous, and sad. He does not understand what is happening to him. We sincerely hope someone falls in love with him and gives him the life he deserves. LULU will be handed over vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and with a microchip.

O Lulu foi encontrado na rua quando era cachorro. Foi resgatado e viveu a vida toda num lar, onde era feliz junto dos utentes, a quem fazia tanta companhia e trazia tanta alegria. Quando o lar fechou, todos se foram embora, utentes, empregados, direção, mas o Lulu foi completamente abandonado à sua sorte! A única pessoa que não lhe virou costas foi a empregada de limpeza que continuou a passar pelo sítio para alimentar o Lulu na rua. Não aguentando ver o animal assim, pediu-nos ajuda. Foi assim que o Lulu deu entrada no Cantinho da Milu. Está muito confuso, nervoso e triste. Não percebe o que lhe está a acontecer. Esperamos sinceramente que alguém se apaixone por ele e lhe dê a vida que ele merece. O Lulu será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About LULU

What life with LULU looks like

LULU is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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.

Note from the shelter: Emotional trauma from abandonment, needs patient rehabilitation

🇵🇹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.
