Mário

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mario was born on 11/2018 and is a small boy. He can sometimes be shy at first but once he feels comfortable, he starts to show who he really is. He loves going for walks and is sociable with other animals. Now all he needs is to find what he doesn't have yet: a family to call his own. A family that sees beyond his initial shyness and discovers the playful partner he is. Date of Birth 15/11/2018 | Small breed

O Mário nasceu a 11/2018 e é um menino de porte pequeno. Pode por vezes ser tímido ao primeiro contacto mas quando se sente confortável, começa a mostrar quem é. Adora passear, é sociável com outros animais. Agora só lhe falta encontrar aquilo que ainda não tem: uma família para chamar de sua. Uma família que veja para além da sua timidez inicial e que descubra o parceiro brincalhão que ele é. Data de Nascimento 15/11/2018 | Porte pequeno

About Mário

What life with Mário looks like

Mário is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associacao Midas 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 Mário, answered.

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