Mila

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

I am very shy but, if you have patience with me, I eventually get close and give some kisses. I really like giving kisses to those who treat me well. Date of birth: 01.2017 size: medium My life story: I and my siblings, Marlon and Morris, were born from a wild dog, in the Meia Praia area and were taken to the shelter by the Lagos dog shelter, still babies, in April 2017. My temperament: I am very shy. I have always been shy, since baby. But if you are very persistent and have a lot of patience, I end up approaching and even giving kisses. This is what happens with the volunteers who come to visit me. I know I am considered a poorly socialized dog, but I would like to find a home because I think it would help me to be more social. Just like the other dogs, I just want affection and attention.

Sou muito tímida mas, se tiverem paciência comigo, eu acabo por me chegar e dar uns beijinhos. Gosto muito de dar beijinhos a quem me trata bem. Data de nascimento: 01.2017 Porte: médio A minha história de vida: eu e os meus irmãos, Marlon e Morris, nascemos de uma cadela selvagem, na zona da Meia Praia e fomos levados para o abrigo pelo Canil de Lagos, ainda bebés, em abril de 2017. O meu temperamento: eu sou muito tímida. Sempre fui tímida, desde bebé. Mas se forem muito persistentes e tiverem muita paciência, acabo por me aproximar e até dar beijinhos. É isso que acontece com os voluntários que me vêm visitar. Sei que sou considerada uma cadela pouco socializada, mas gostava de arranjar uma casa pois acho que isso me ia ajudar a ser mais sociável. Tal como os outros cães também eu só quero mimos e atenção.

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mila, answered.

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