How do I contact the shelter about Maria Flor?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Quatro Patas e Focinhos handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maria Flor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maria Flor if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Quatro Patas e Focinhos 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 Flor 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 Flor 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 Quatro Patas e Focinhos early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maria Flor 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.

Adopt Maria Flor

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Maria Flor Female, 2 months old, (in principle) small size, dewormed internally and externally, spaying will be supported by the animal rescue association. Contact for responsible adoption (+351) 918570448 They are tiny and cute, short-legged and cute. They grow up, are short-legged, with short legs, and one day they end up in any place, abandoned, left to their own luck. They look for a shelter, build a den among climbing plants and tall grasses, and the female has her litter, protected from the cold rain and those who might take them away. The short male remained alert to anyone approaching. One day, someone noticed their presence. One day, someone approached and realized the abandonment and the crying babies. Protection came every day in the form of food and care so that the rain would not enter the den. As the days passed quickly, the babies wanted to follow the steps of their parents and it was necessary to protect them from danger. There are three little Marias and one Lusito, the brother Snoopy was already taken in by a large-hearted family. These small ones wait for the same luck: to be taken in by someone who adopts affection. Abandoning is a crime! The law is for real!! Adopting is an act of the greatest kindness. Adopting should be thought about responsibly.

Contacto para adoção responsável (+351) 918570448 São pequenitos e que giros, baixotes de perna curta e que giros. Crescem, são baixotes, de perna curta e, um dia, ficam num qualquer lugar, abandonados, deixados à sua sorte. Procuram abrigo, constroem uma toca entre trepadeiras e ervas altas e ali a fêmea tem a sua ninhada, abrigada da chuva fria e daqueles que lha podem tirar. O macho baixote manteve-se alerta a quem se aproximasse. Um dia, alguém notou a sua presença. Um dia, alguém se aproximou e apercebeu-se do abandono e das crias que chiavam. A proteção veio todos os dias em forma de alimento e cuidados para que a chuva não entrasse na toca. Com os dias a passar velozes, as crias quiseram seguir os passos dos progenitores e foi necessário protegê-los do perigo. São três pequenas Marias e um Lusito, o mano Snoopy foi já acolhido por uma família de coração grande. Estes pequenos aguardam que tenham a mesma sorte: ser acolhidos por quem adota afetos. Abandonar é crime! A lei é pra valer!! Adotar é um gesto da maior bondade Adotar deve ser pensado com responsabilidade.

About Maria Flor

What life with Maria Flor looks like

Maria Flor is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Quatro Patas e Focinhos in Portugal.

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.

🇵🇹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.
