NELLY

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

A NELLY was found on the street along with her sister Duda. Both had a microchip, so the previous owner was contacted. She said she had given the dogs to another person about a year ago, because she had moved house, and that since then, she has had no news of them or contact with the person who received them. The person who took them also did not show any interest, as they did not look for them. The NELLY is extremely gentle and sweet. She loves people's attention and enjoys being spoiled. She gets along well with all other dogs. She walks very well on a leash and, as far as we know, is used to living in a family environment. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

PT·Show original

A Nelly foi encontrada na rua juntamente com a sua irmã Duda. Ambas tinham microchip, pelo que a antiga dona foi contactada. Esta referiu que tinha entregue as cadelas a outra pessoa cerca de um ano antes, por ter mudado de casa, e que desde então, nunca mais teve notícias delas nem contacto com quem as recebeu. A pessoa que ficou com elas também não demonstrou qualquer interesse, uma vez que não as procurou. A Nelly é extremamente meiga e doce. Adora a atenção das pessoas e gosta muito de miminhos. Dá-se bem com todos os outros cães. Passeia muito bem à trela e, pelo que sabemos, está habituada a viver em ambiente familiar. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About NELLY

What life with NELLY looks like

NELLY is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇹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 NELLY, answered.

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