Menina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

A Menina, trás consigo uma história de salvação, como poucas! Foi vista a ser levada pelo seu antigo Dono, puxada por uma corta, a caminho de ser enforcada, porque fazia muito barulho! Salvou-a a intervenção de um “estranho” (um herói) que não ficou indiferente à forma como aquele senhor puxava o seu animal! E foi assim, que a Menina veio ter ao Canil, onde vive desde então!

About Menina

What life with Menina looks like

Menina is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canil Municipal do Funchal 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 Menina, answered.

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