NAYO

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Nayo was found on the street together with his siblings when he was still a very small puppy, and he was quickly adopted. On the application form, the adopters indicated that they worked in shifts and that there would always be someone at home to keep him company. This is one of our conditions for adopting out puppies, since we do not place them with families where they will have to be alone for many hours. Four months later, Nayo was returned because he barked when left alone and the neighbors complained. At that point, the adopters told us that they worked long hours and that the dog was left alone all day, exactly the opposite of what they had indicated on the application form. Nayo spent the whole day alone and barked, a perfectly understandable behavior under these circumstances. He deserves a new chance. He is a very sweet and gentle dog, though he is a little wary of people he doesn't know. He is still very young and needs better socialization, something he can easily develop in a present and dedicated family. He gets along well with all other dogs and walks nicely on a leash. He will be handed over vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

O Nayo foi encontrado na rua juntamente com os irmãos quando era ainda um cachorro muito pequeno e foi rapidamente adotado. No formulário de candidatura, os adotantes indicaram que trabalhavam por turnos e que estaria sempre alguém em casa para lhe fazer companhia. Esta é uma das nossas condições para a adoção de cachorros, uma vez que não os entregamos a famílias onde tenham de ficar muitas horas sozinhos. Quatro meses depois, o Nayo foi devolvido porque ladrava quando ficava sozinho e os vizinhos queixavam-se. Nessa altura, os adotantes disseram-nos que trabalhavam muitas horas e que o cachorro ficava sozinho durante todo o dia, exatamente o contrário do que tinham indicado no formulário de candidatura. O Nayo passava o dia inteiro sozinho e ladrava, um comportamento perfeitamente compreensível nestas circunstâncias. Merece uma nova oportunidade. É um cão muito doce e meigo, embora seja um pouco desconfiado com pessoas que não conhece. É ainda muito jovem e precisa de uma melhor socialização, algo que poderá desenvolver facilmente numa família presente e dedicada. Dá-se bem com todos os outros cães e passeia bem à trela. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado e com microchip.

About NAYO

What life with NAYO looks like

NAYO is a medium-sized puppy 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 NAYO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about NAYO?
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 NAYO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt NAYO 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is NAYO 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 NAYO 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 NAYO 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.
