Adopt Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e

Female · Puppy · 5 months

The Maria Alice is wonderful but requires people to spend some extra time to get to know her well. Despite her shyness, she is curious and very affectionate, so with calmness and patience, you gain a great friend here. After winning her trust, it's very worth it, as she becomes a lovely, cheerful, playful and affectionate dog. The Maria Alice feels somewhat safe inside the shelter, but on the street she shows deep fears that she can't control. To adopt the Maria Alice, it would be important to already have experience with very shy dogs that need a lot of time, patience and dedication to overcome their fears.

A Maria Alice é maravilhosa mas exige às pessoas algum tempo extra para se dar bem a conhecer. Apesar do receio é curiosa e muito carente de mimo, pelo que com calma e paciência se ganha aqui uma grande amiga. Dopois de a conquistar vale muito a pena, torna-se uma querida pateta alegre, brincalhona e meiguinha. A Maria Alice dentro do abrigo sente-se minimamente segura, mas na rua demonstra ter medos profundos que não consegue controlar. Para adoptar a Maria Alice, seria importante ter já alguma experiência com cães muito medrosos que precisam de muito tempo, paciência e dedicação para superar receios.

About Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e

What life with Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e looks like

Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e is a medium-sized puppy/kitten dog waiting at União Zoófila in Lisboa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

Note from the shelter: Extremely fearful dog requiring experienced owner with patience for fear rehabilitation

🇵🇹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 Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. União Zoófila handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — União Zoófila 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 Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e 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 Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e 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 União Zoófila early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maria Alice - 11 ano(s) e 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.
