Maski

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am a very sweet dog and love being near people, after overcoming the initial shyness. Date of birth: 2016 size: medium My life story: I was taken to the shelter by the dog shelter of Lagos, in April 2017. My own owner left me at the dog shelter because I was sick and he no longer wanted me. When they took me to the shelter I was so sick that I could hardly walk and was so shy that I hid and didn't want to leave my space. The shelter staff treated me with daily injections and I eventually got better. The skin problems disappeared and I became stronger and more active. Now I only take the pills for leishmaniasis. My temperament: as I have aged I have become stronger and more active and also more confident. I am still a bit shy when meeting someone, but with time I end up trusting and I like to go for walks and receive affection. I really like being with other dogs and living and playing with them. I am a calm, reliable and obedient dog. I behave very well. I would be an excellent dog for any family.

Eu sou um cão muito doce e adoro estar perto das pessoas, depois de ultrapassar a timidez inicial. Data de nascimento: 2016 Porte: médio A minha história de vida: fui levado para o abrigo pelo Canil de Lagos, em abril de 2017. O meu próprio dono deixou-me no Canil pois eu estava doente e ele já não me queria. Quando me levaram para o abrigo estava tão doente que quase não conseguia andar e era tão tímido que me escondia e não queria sair do meu espaço. O pessoal do abrigo tratou-me com injeções diárias e acabei por melhorar. Desapareceram os problemas de pele e tornei-me mais forte e ativo. Agora só tomo os comprimidos para a Leishmaniose. O meu temperamento: à medida que fui envelhecendo fiquei mais forte e ativo e também mais confiante. Ainda sou um pouco tímido quando conheço alguém, mas com o tempo acabo por confiar e gosto de ser levado a passear e de receber carinhos. Gosto muito de estar com outros cães e de conviver e brincar com eles. Sou um cão calmo, confiável e obediente. porto-me muito bem. Seria um ótimo cão para qualquer família.

About Maski

What life with Maski looks like

Maski is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Maski, answered.

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