MOLLY

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

A MOLLY and Sonja were surrendered by the owner. The MOLLY is very unhappy at the our shelter. She is always hiding and it breaks our hearts. Despite being scared, she doesn't harm anyone. She lets us approach and give her treats. She is calm and quiet. We haven't heard her bark yet. She is truly gentle and friendly with all the dogs. The MOLLY is used to living indoors and going for walks on a leash. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Molly e a Sonja foram cedidas pelo dono. A Molly está muito infeliz no abrigo. Está sempre escondida. Dá dó. Mesmo com medo, ela não faz mal a ninguém. Deixa-nos aproximar e dar festinhas. É calminha. Não a ouvimos ladrar ainda. É mesmo meiga e sociável com todos os cães. A Molly está habituada a viver dentro de casa e passear de trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About MOLLY

What life with MOLLY looks like

MOLLY is a medium-sized 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.

Note from the shelter: Very unhappy in shelter environment, needs patient adopter to help with adjustment

🇵🇹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 MOLLY, answered.

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