Adopt Negrào

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Personality & BehaviorNegrão’s life changed overnight, and not for the better.When his owner passed away, instead of being protected and cared for, he was thrown out like rubbish by the family. Suddenly alone, confused, and grieving, he found himself on the streets.Neighbours chased him away. He was even reported to the GNR after running after motorbikes , likely frightened, disoriented, and simply not understanding the world he had been forced into.Alone and heartbroken, Negrão became very, very sick. He developed severe liver problems and became painfully thin, almost skeletal. His body was shutting down from neglect and stress.Thankfully, a wonderful animal protector stepped in and asked us for help. Negrão urgently needed surgery for a perineal hernia, which was carried out immediately.And that’s when his second chance truly began.Negrão has come a long way. He has gained weight, recovered well from surgery, and his liver condition has improved considerably. But more beautiful than his physical recovery is the return of his spirit.He is a deeply grateful dog. Gentle. Loving. Quietly affectionate. You can see in his eyes that he knows he was saved.After everything he has endured, Negrão doesn’t deserve to spend his remaining years in a shelter. He has been with us for almost four months now and is ready , truly ready, for a caring, peaceful home where he can finally feel safe and loved again. Adoption RequirementsHome type : Negrão would thrive in a calm, cosy home environment with a patient and kind adopter who understands he has been through traumaely.Experience level : He would likely suit an older person or couple, or a calm family looking for a loyal companion to share quiet moments with.Other pets/kids : A quiete household, ideally without too much noise or chaos, a soft bed, regular meals, and gentle companionship.
