Nina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Nina is a very shy dog and, for now, is not yet comfortable accepting the leash and going on walks. We ask potential adopters to be aware that this may be a lengthy process, and to first come meet her at the shelter and spend some time with her to see whether you may be a good match.

PT·Show original

A Nina é uma cadela muito tímida e por enquanto não se sente confortável para aceitar a trela e os passeios. Pedimos aos potenciais adotantes que sejam conscientes que pode ser um processo demorado e que venham primeiro conhecê-la no abrigo e passar algum tempo com ela para ver se podem ser compatíveis.

About Nina

What life with Nina looks like

Nina is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canil da Aroeira in -059 Almada.

A 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 often arranged before placement. Adoption fees often cover some or all of the vet workup, so confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nina?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Canil da Aroeira 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Canil da Aroeira whether they will for Nina, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nina already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Nina. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Canil da Aroeira, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nina isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Canil da Aroeira about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
