Maria da Paz

Female

Characteristics: Vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed. I am a cute little girl, but a bit timid. You see, I've been through a lot and I'm afraid of living through it again... If you like me, give me a chance to be happy. I learn quickly and I only need a few days to understand that nobody else will hurt me.

Sabem, já passei por muito e tenho medo de voltar a viver o mesmo… Se gosta de mim, dê-me uma oportunidade de ser feliz. Aprendo muito depressa e só preciso de uns dias para perceber que ninguém mais me fará mal. Também disponível para apadrinhamento !

About Maria da Paz

What life with Maria da Paz looks like

Maria da Paz is a small adult dog waiting at Bianca APS 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maria da Paz, answered.

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