MIMI

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A MIMI was found on the street with her 3 daughters. She was skin and bones, fighting to survive and protect her babies — and it was not easy at all. When she was brought to the shelter, she finally received the care she so desperately needed and thrived. She gained weight and her fur became soft and shiny. The 3 puppies have already been adopted. Now, we dream of finding a loving home for the MIMI as well — she deserves it so much! The MIMI is extremely sweet, gentle, friendly and calm. She loves people, gets along well with other dogs and walks very well on a leash. If you are looking for a loyal and caring companion, the MIMI is ready to fill your life with love. The MIMI will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and with a microchip.

A Mimi foi encontrada na rua com as suas 3 filhas. Estava pele e osso, a lutar para sobreviver e a proteger as suas bebês — e não foi nada fácil. Quando foi trazida para o abrigo, finalmente recebeu os cuidados de que tanto precisava e floresceu. Recuperou peso e o seu pêlo ficou macio e brilhante. As 3 cachorras já foram adotadas. Agora, sonhamos encontrar também um lar amoroso para a Mimi — ela merece tanto! A Mimi é extremamente doce, meiga, amigável e tranquila. Adora pessoas, dá-se bem com outros cães e anda muito bem à trela. Se procura uma companheira leal e carinhosa, a Mimi está pronta para encher a sua vida de amor. A Mimi será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About MIMI

What life with MIMI looks like

MIMI is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 MIMI, answered.

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