MAEVE

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

A MAEVE and the mother were left at the shelter by their own owner. The MAEVE was a female and was adopted right away. Unfortunately, she was returned 1.5 years later because she started to have problems with one of her companions. Indeed, the MAEVE seems not to like small female dogs very much. However, she is a sociable, very gentle, always in a good mood. She loves human company. She knows how to walk on a leash. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

A Maeve e a mãe foram deixadas no abrigo pelo próprio dono. A Maeve era cachorra e foi logo adotada. Infelizmente foi devolvida 1,5 anos depois porque começou a desentender-se com uma das suas companheiras. Efectivamente a Maeve parece não gostar muito de fêmeas de pequeno porte. É contudo uma cadela sociável, muito meiga, sempre bem disposta. Adora companhia humana. Sabe andar à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About MAEVE

What life with MAEVE looks like

MAEVE is a large adult mixed breed 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Does not get along well with small female dogs

🇵🇹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 MAEVE, answered.

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