Micky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

I am an energetic dog, but also a bit anxious—maybe because I was abandoned and left to my own luck on the street. Date of birth: 17.04.2024 Gender: male Size: medium My life story: I was lost on the streets of Lagos, in the Albardeira area, for several days. I constantly risked being hit by cars until some residents were moved by my situation and started leaving bowls with food and water for me, as well as allowing me to stay in their courtyards. Thanks to their kindness, they contacted Cadela Carlota, who in April 2025 managed to get a place for me at the shelter. My temperament: I am an energetic dog, but also a bit anxious—maybe because I was abandoned and left to my own luck on the street. Sometimes I get into small fights with other dogs, but I also love playing with them, especially running and having fun chases. I like everyone, but I can be easily scared. Therefore, I look for a calm family that offers me a peaceful and safe home, where I can feel protected, gain confidence, and show my best side.

Sou um cão cheio de energia, mas também um pouco ansioso — talvez por ter sido abandonado e deixado à minha sorte na rua. Data de nascimento: 17.04.2024 Género: macho Porte: médio A minha história de vida: Andei perdido pelas ruas de Lagos, na zona da Albardeira, durante vários dias. Corria constantemente o risco de ser atropelado, até que alguns moradores se comoveram com a minha situação e começaram a deixar taças com comida e água para mim, além de me permitirem pernoitar nos seus pátios. Graças à sua bondade, contactaram a Cadela Carlota, que em abril de 2025 conseguiu um lugar para mim no abrigo. O meu temperamento: Sou um cão cheio de energia, mas também um pouco ansioso — talvez por ter sido abandonado e deixado à minha sorte na rua. Às vezes entro em pequenas disputas com outros cães, mas também adoro brincar com eles, especialmente a correr e a fazer perseguições divertidas. Gosto de toda a gente, mas posso assustar-me com facilidade. Por isso, procuro uma família tranquila, que me ofereça um lar calmo e seguro, onde eu possa sentir-me protegido, ganhar confiança e mostrar o meu melhor lado.

About Micky

What life with Micky looks like

Micky 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 Micky, answered.

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