Medina

Mixed Breed · Female

A Medina was rescued from a street pack. She lived in a context of survival, but never lost her sweetness. She is social with other animals, very calm and balanced. She likes serene environments, comfort, and especially a warm corner where she can rest in peace. She is not outgoing or exuberant, she is gentle. Perhaps because of her sweet and calm temperament, she often goes unnoticed. Medina does not attract attention with jumps or excitement. She approaches slowly, stays close, observes; she is one of those companions that bring serenity to the home. After a life on the street, she deserves to discover what safety, comfort, and belonging are. She deserves to stop going unnoticed. Date of birth:

A Medina foi resgatada de uma matilha de rua. Viveu em contexto de sobrevivência, mas nunca perdeu a doçura. É sociável com outros animais, muito tranquila e equilibrada. Gosta de ambientes serenos, de conforto e, sobretudo, de um cantinho quentinho onde possa descansar em paz. Não é expansiva nem exuberante, é suave. E talvez por isso, pelo seu temperamento tão doce e calmo, acaba muitas vezes por passar despercebida. A Medina não chama a atenção com saltos ou euforia. Aproxima-se devagar, fica perto, observa, é daquelas companhias que trazem serenidade à casa. Depois de uma vida na rua, merece descobrir o que é segurança, conforto e pertença. Merece deixar de passar despercebida. Data de nascimento: 06/2018

About Medina

What life with Medina looks like

Medina is a 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 Medina, answered.

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