MALIKA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Matti and Malika arrived at our shelter from a municipal kennel where they were left. They are two very beautiful, friendly and sociable dogs accustomed to people and get along well with other dogs. We do not know their parents, but everything indicates that they will be medium to large-sized dogs, possibly German Shepherd mixes. They will be handed over vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

O Matti e a Malika chegaram até nós vindos de um canil municipal, onde tinham sido deixados. São dois cachorros muito bonitos, simpáticos e sociáveis, habituados a pessoas e que se dão bem com outros cães. Não conhecemos os seus progenitores, mas tudo indica que venham a ser cães de porte médio a grande, possivelmente cruzados de Pastor Alemão. Serão entregues vacinados, desparasitados e com microchip.

About MALIKA

What life with MALIKA looks like

MALIKA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting MALIKA, answered.

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