MIKKEL

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Mikkel was surrendered to the shelter along with another female dog after his owner moved from a house to an apartment and decided not to take the dogs with him. After so many years by his side, Mikkel ended up losing the only family he knew. Mikkel is a wonderful dog. He is a big teddy bear, very affectionate and adorable with people. He gets along extremely well with other dogs, males and females, of all sizes. He walks very well on a leash. He may look older than he really is due to his white muzzle, but he is still in excellent shape and very healthy. He will be surrendered vaccinated, dewormed, neutered and microchipped.

O Mikkel foi entregue no abrigo juntamente com outra cadela depois de o seu tutor se ter mudado de uma casa para um apartamento e ter decidido não levar os cães consigo. Depois de tantos anos ao seu lado, o Mikkel acabou por perder a única família que conhecia. O Mikkel é um cão maravilhoso. É um grande ursinho de peluche, muito carinhoso e adorável com as pessoas. Dá-se extremamente bem com outros cães, machos e fêmeas, de todos os portes. Passeia muito bem à trela. Pode parecer mais velho do que realmente é devido ao focinho branco, mas continua em excelente forma e muito bem de saúde.Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About MIKKEL

What life with MIKKEL looks like

MIKKEL is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 MIKKEL, answered.

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