How do I contact the shelter about Mike?

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 Mike on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mike 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 Mike 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 Mike 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 Mike 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.

Mike

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I have a lot of energy and am a bit anxious. I love people and just want to be spoiled. Birth date: 2015 size: medium My life story: I was taken to the shelter in February 2022 by my own owner who had to move house and couldn't take me with her. She had taken me from the street, in the area of Portimão, when I was still a baby, and she was very sorry to have to leave me at the shelter. My temperament: I am a dog with a lot of energy who is always looking for the attention of humans. I like to walk on a leash and to run, I don't have much patience for being still and quiet. I don't get along with all dogs, but I like the company of females. With humans it's the same, I prefer women over men, but I also get along well with them. I would like to be adopted in a house where I am the only dog because I know I am a dog that likes to have all the attention. My family would have to be calm and, at the same time, active, to provide me with plenty of exercise. I have all the love in the world to give.

Eu tenho muita energia e sou um pouco ansioso. Adoro pessoas e só quero ser mimado. Data de nascimento: 2015 Porte: médio A minha história de vida: eu fui levado para o abrigo, em fevereiro de 2022, pela minha própria dona que teve de mudar de casa e não me pode levar com ela. Ela tinha-me tirado da rua, na zona de Portimão, quando eu era ainda um bebé, e teve muita pena de ter de me deixar no abrigo. O meu temperamento: eu sou um cão com muita energia que estou sempre à procura da atenção dos humanos. Gosto de andar à trela e de correr, não tenho muita paciência para estar quieto e parado. Não me dou bem com todos os cães, mas gosto da companhia das fêmeas. Com os humanos é o mesmo, gosto mais das mulheres do que dos homens, mas também me dou bem com eles. Gostava de ser adotado numa casa em que fosse o único cão pois sei que sou um cão que gosta de ter toda a atenção. A minha família teria de ser calma e, ao mesmo tempo, ativa, para me proporcionar bastante exercício. Tenho todo o amor do mundo para dar.

About Mike

What life with Mike looks like

Mike is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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.
