MURPHY

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Murphy and his siblings were born at the shelter. Someone found their mother on the street, already heavily pregnant, and she gave birth that same day. Unfortunately, some of the litter fell ill, but fortunately Murphy resisted and is in good health, ready to be adopted. He is very sweet, friendly, accustomed to people, and very playful. Murphy will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

O Murphy e os irmãos nasceram no abrigo. Alguém encontrou a mãe na rua, já muito grávida, e ela deu à luz nesse mesmo dia. Entretanto, alguns bebês da ninhada adoeceram, mas felizmente o Murphy resistiu e está bem de saúde, pronto para ser adotado. É muito doce, amigável, habituado a pessoas e muito brincalhão. O Murphy será entregue vacinado, desparasitado e com microchip.

About MURPHY

What life with MURPHY looks like

MURPHY is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇹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 MURPHY, answered.

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