How do I contact the shelter about Nina?

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 Nina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nina 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 Nina 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 Nina 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 Nina 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.

Nina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

I am very gentle and affectionate and have made a big effort to overcome my insecurities. Date of birth: 03.28.2024 My life story: I moved to the Cadela Carlota shelter in August 2025. I was born and raised on a property, along with several brothers. However, there came a time when we had to be handed over, when the property owner 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 shy because, during the time I lived with my owner, I was not properly socialized or had contact with other people. Still, I am very gentle and affectionate and have made a big effort to overcome my insecurities. The volunteers have helped me a lot and take me on long walks outside the shelter, something I was not used to and has been very important for my progress. I need an experienced, patient, and dedicated family that offers me attention, love, and time to continue gaining confidence.

Sou muito meiga e afetuosa e tenho feito um grande esforço para superar as minhas inseguranças. 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 tímida porque, durante o tempo em que vivi com o meu dono, não fui devidamente socializada nem tive contacto com outras pessoas. Ainda assim, sou muito meiga e afetuosa e tenho feito um grande esforço para superar as minhas inseguranças. Os voluntários têm-me ajudado imenso e levam-me a fazer longos passeios fora do abrigo, algo a que eu não estava habituada e que tem sido muito importante para o meu progresso. Preciso de uma família experiente, paciente e dedicada, que me ofereça atenção, amor e tempo para continuar a ganhar confiança.

About Nina

What life with Nina looks like

Nina 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.
