How do I contact the shelter about Nero?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cadela Carlota & Companhia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nero on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nero if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Nero 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 Nero 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 Cadela Carlota & Companhia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nero 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.

Nero

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

I am very gentle and I know I will be a loving companion for whoever gains my trust and my heart. Date of birth: 28.03.2024 My life story: I came to the Cadela Carlota shelter in August 2025. I was born and raised on a property, along with several siblings. However, there came a time when we had to be handed over, when the owner of the property informed our owner that he could no longer keep the dogs there. We were seven dogs in total, all from the same family, and we were all taken in together at the shelter, where we have lived since then. My temperament: I am a very shy dog, as I did not have proper socialization, despite my owner's affection for me. I always lived with my family in a shed, where we were fed and went out to run a few times a day. I had no contact with other people besides my owner, which makes me still wary of strangers. Despite that, I am very gentle and I know I will be a loving companion for whoever gains my trust and my heart. I get along well with other dogs and feel safer in their company. I am looking for a loving and patient family that will help me discover, at my own pace, a world I do not yet know.

Sou muito meigo e sei que serei um companheiro afetuoso para quem conquistar a minha confiança e o meu coração. Data de nascimento: 28.03.2024 A minha história de vida: fui viver para o abrigo da Cadela Carlota em agosto de 2025. Nasci e cresci num terreno, juntamente com vários irmãos. No entanto, chegou um momento em que tivemos de ser entregues, quando o proprietário do terreno informou o nosso dono de que já não poderia manter os cães ali. Éramos sete cães no total, todos da mesma família, e fomos acolhidos juntos no abrigo, onde vivemos desde então. O meu temperamento: sou um cão muito tímido, pois não tive uma socialização adequada, apesar de o meu dono sentir carinho por mim. Vivi sempre com a minha família num barracão, onde éramos alimentados e saíamos para correr algumas vezes por dia. Não tive contacto com outras pessoas além do meu dono, o que faz com que ainda tenha receio de estranhos. Apesar disso, sou muito meigo e sei que serei um companheiro afetuoso para quem conquistar a minha confiança e o meu coração. Dou-me bem com outros cães e sinto-me mais seguro na companhia deles. Procuro uma família amorosa e paciente, que me ajude a descobrir, ao meu ritmo, um mundo que ainda não conheço.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
