About Luso

What life with Luso looks like

Luso is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Abrigo de Carinho 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 ā€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" ā€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures ā€” to let them settle.

šŸ‡µšŸ‡¹Adopting 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 Luso, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luso?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Abrigo de Carinho handles screening and the adoption contract directly ā€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luso on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luso if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad ā€” Abrigo de Carinho 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 ā‚¬100ā€“ā‚¬350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Luso 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 ā€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Luso isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work ā€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Abrigo de Carinho early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luso 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 ā€” 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.
