Adopt Maski

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

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 ended up getting better. The skin problems disappeared and I became stronger and more active. Now I only take the pills for leishmaniasis.

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.

About Maski

What life with Maski looks like

Maski is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota in Cadela Carlota.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 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 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 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.
