NIKITA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

The owner of NIKITA passed away, and the son, with no time to take care of her, ended up bringing her to the shelter. NIKITA is a lovely dog, very sweet and gentle, who simply adores people. She is used to living in a house, walks beautifully on a leash, is obedient, and recognizes her name. She is also super social with other dogs and quite playful, which is incredible for her age. In fact, she doesn't seem to be as old as she is, as she is in excellent condition. We hope she can still live many happy years in a home full of love, because that is exactly what she deserves. NIKITA will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A dona da Nikita faleceu e o filho, sem tempo para cuidar dela, acabou por entregá-la no abrigo. A Nikita é uma cadela adorável, muito doce e meiga, que simplesmente adora pessoas. Está habituada a viver numa casa, passeia lindamente à trela, é obediente e reconhece o seu nome. É também super sociável com outros cães e até bastante brincalhona, o que é incrível para a idade que tem. Na verdade, nem parece ter a idade que tem, pois está em excelente forma. Esperamos que ainda possa viver muitos anos felizes num lar cheio de amor, porque é exatamente isso que ela merece. A Nikita será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About NIKITA

What life with NIKITA looks like

NIKITA is a medium-sized 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.

🇵🇹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 NIKITA, answered.

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