NINA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

A Nina foi encontrada abandonada na rua. Tinha microchip, pelo que a sua tutora foi contactada, mas afirmou que a tinha entregue a outra pessoa. Infelizmente, nunca saberemos ao certo o que aconteceu. A Nina parece ter sido negligenciada durante grande parte da vida. Tem uma artrose muito avançada em ambas as patas dianteiras, o que lhe dificulta bastante os movimentos. Ainda assim, continua a querer passear. Com os cuidados adequados, esta condição poderia ter sido acompanhada e a sua progressão retardada. Agora já não é possível revertê-la, mas é possível proporcionar-lhe mais conforto através de suplementos e do tratamento com Librela. A Nina é uma cadelinha muito doce e meiga, que merece muito mais, sobretudo nesta fase da vida. O abrigo não é o lugar ideal para uma cadela pequena e sénior como ela. Gosta de estar ao colo, é muito gentil e dá-se bem com outros cães. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About NINA

What life with NINA looks like

NINA is a 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 NINA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about NINA?
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 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 — 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 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 O Cantinho da Milu 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.
