MOZA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

5 dogs were removed from a private property due to extreme neglect they were in. They had no shelter, clean water or enough food. They were very thin, dirty and scared. The MOZA came to the Cantinho with her 3 puppies. They were very scared. The MOZA growled at anyone who tried to enter her park. It took some time for her to realize that the caretakers didn't want to harm her. We managed to gain her trust. She is a completely different dog, always alert, but much more social with people she already knows. She deserves a better life, a patient family with lots of love to give because she is a gentle and affectionate dog. The MOZA was born around 2014. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed and spayed.

5 cães foram retirados duma propriedade privada devido a extrema negligência em que se encontravam. Não tinham abrigo, água limpa nem comida suficiente. Estavam magríssimos, sujos e assustados. A Moza veio para o Cantinho com os seus 3 cachorros. Estavam assustadíssimos. A Moza rosnava a quem tentasse entrar no parque dela. Demorou algum tempo até ela perceber que os tratadores não lhe queriam mal nenhum. Conseguimos ganhar a confiança dela. Está uma cadela completamente diferente, sempre atenta, mas muito mais sociável com quem já conhece. Ela merece uma melhor vida, uma família paciente e com muito amor para dar pois ela é uma cadela meiga e carente. A Moza nasceu +/- em 2014. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada e esterilizada.

About MOZA

What life with MOZA looks like

MOZA 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.

Note from the shelter: Rescue from severe neglect, needs patient and loving family

🇵🇹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 MOZA, answered.

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