How do I contact the shelter about Lyla?

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

Can I adopt Lyla 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 Lyla 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 Lyla 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 Lyla 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.

Lyla

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

I am an active and energetic dog, always ready for a good walk, a fun run, or to explore new smells and places. Date of birth: 01.01.2022 My life story: I was brought to the shelter in November 2015, after spending several months in the field, in the Portelas area (Lagos). My inseparable companion Tiger and I were left alone by our own owners, who decided to travel and move to another country. For a while, the neighbors took care of us and they also called Cadela Carlota to help us and give us a safe place to live. My temperament: I am an active and energetic dog, always ready for a good walk, a fun run, or to explore new smells and places. I get along well with people and other dogs. What I most desire now is to find a new home and never be left behind again. Since I am used to nature and living outdoors, I would like the family that takes me in to have an outdoor space where I can run and play freely.

Data de nascimento: 01.01.2022 A minha história de vida: fui entregue no abrigo em novembro de 2015, depois de ter passado vários meses pelo campo, na zona das Portelas (Lagos). Eu e a minha inseparável companheira Tiger fomos deixadas sozinhas pelos nossos próprios donos, que decidiram viajar e ir viver para outro país. Durante algum tempo, foram os vizinhos que cuidaram de nós e foram também eles que chamaram a Cadela Carlota para nos ajudar e nos dar um local seguro onde viver. O meu temperamento: sou uma cadela ativa e cheia de energia, sempre pronta para um bom passeio, uma corrida divertida ou para explorar cheiros e lugares novos. Dou-me bem com pessoas e com outros cães. O que mais desejo agora é encontrar uma nova casa e nunca mais ser deixada para trás. Como estou habituada à natureza e a viver ao ar livre, gostaria que a família que me acolhesse tivesse um espaço exterior, onde eu pudesse correr e brincar à vontade.

About Lyla

What life with Lyla looks like

Lyla is a 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. 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.
