Maya

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Passeio very well on a leash and learn quickly, I like to please. Date of birth: 25.10.2023 My life story: I lived in a house, with a family and two smaller dogs. Unfortunately, when my family started receiving complaints from the neighbors because I barked when they left for work, the landlord told them they would have to leave the house if they did not resolve the situation. Unfortunately, to great sadness of me and the family, the solution was to surrender me at the shelter, where I have lived since August 2024. My temperament: I am a young female dog very affectionate with humans and very dependent. I love being near people and receiving affection. Passeio very well on a leash and learn quickly, I like to please. I still have some guard dog behaviors, but with the right family, I know I will gain more confidence and be a great companion.

Passeio muito bem à trela e aprendo depressa, gosto de agradar. Data de nascimento: 25.10.2023 A minha história de vida: eu vivia numa casa, com uma família e dois cãezinhos mais pequenos. Infelizmente, quando a minha família começou a receber queixas dos vizinhos porque eu ladrava quando eles saiam para trabalhar, o senhorio disse-lhes que eles teriam de sair da casa, se não resolvessem a situação. Infelizmente, para grande tristeza minha e da família, a solução foi entregar-me no abrigo, onde vivo desde agosto de 2024. O meu temperamento: sou uma jovem cadela muito afetuosa com os humanos e muito carente. Adoro estar perto das pessoas e de receber mimos. Passeio muito bem à trela e aprendo depressa, gosto de agradar. Ainda tenho alguns comportamentos de cão de guarda, mas, com a família certa, sei que ganharei mais confiança e serei uma ótima companheira.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

An young 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 Maya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maya?
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 Maya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maya 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 Maya 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 Maya 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 Maya 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.
