MAGALI

Akita · Female · Senior · 11 years

Magali was surrendered to the shelter along with another dog after her owner moved from a house to an apartment and decided not to take the dogs with them. After so many years by her side, Magali ended up losing the only family she knew. Magali is a wonderful dog and deserves much more than being left behind after a lifetime of companionship and love. We hope she now has the opportunity to find a family that truly knows how to value her. She is extremely gentle and very sweet. She is very friendly, loves the company of people and gets along well with all the dogs she knows. She walks very well on a leash. Despite being a senior dog, no one would guess her age. She is in excellent shape and very healthy, walking and running with the energy and endurance of a much younger dog. She will be surrendered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and microchipped.

A Magali foi entregue no abrigo juntamente com outro cão depois de o seu tutor se ter mudado de uma casa para um apartamento e ter decidido não levar os cães consigo. Depois de tantos anos ao seu lado, a Magali acabou por perder a única família que conhecia. A Magali é uma cadela maravilhosa e merece muito mais do que ser deixada para trás depois de uma vida inteira de companhia e amor. Esperamos que tenha agora a oportunidade de encontrar uma família que saiba verdadeiramente valorizá-la. É extremamente meiga e muito doce. É muito amigável, adora a companhia das pessoas e dá-se bem com todos os cães que conhece. Passeia muito bem à trela. Apesar de ser uma cadela sénior, ninguém lhe daria a idade que tem. Está em excelente forma e muito bem de saúde, passeando e correndo com a energia e resistência de uma cadela muito mais jovem.Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About MAGALI

What life with MAGALI looks like

MAGALI is a large senior akita 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.

🇵🇹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 MAGALI, answered.

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