NAKO

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

The NAKO was found on the street. He is very gentle and extremely docile. He deserves much better. He is affectionate with people and sociable with other dogs. He walks well on a leash. He limps on one hind leg, probably due to an old fracture that was never treated, but this does not prevent him from running. For his age, he is in very good shape. The NAKO will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed or neutered, and with a microchip.

O Nako foi encontrado na rua. É muito meigo e super dócil. Merece muito melhor. É carinhoso com as pessoas e sociável com outros cães. Anda bem à trela. Coxeia de uma pata de trás, provavelmente devido a uma fratura antiga que nunca foi tratada, mas isso não o impede de correr. Para a idade que tem, está bastante em forma. O Nako será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About NAKO

What life with NAKO looks like

NAKO 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: Limps on back leg due to old untreated fracture, but can still run

🇵🇹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 NAKO, answered.

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