OBELIX

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

The Obélix has a unique appearance! At first glance, it seems to have a shar-pei rib, but we don't know for sure... Despite its modern and youthful look, no one has noticed him in the two years he has been with us at our dog shelter!

O Obélix tem uma fisionomia única! À primeira vista, parece ter uma costela de shar-pei, mas não temos como saber... Apesar do seu look moderno e jovial, ainda ninguém reparou nele nos dois anos em que ele está connosco no nosso canil!

About OBELIX

What life with OBELIX looks like

OBELIX is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Sítio dos Animais — Sintra in Sintra.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇹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 OBELIX, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about OBELIX?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sítio dos Animais — Sintra handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw OBELIX on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt OBELIX if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sítio dos Animais — Sintra 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 OBELIX 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 OBELIX 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 Sítio dos Animais — Sintra early rather than rehoming privately; they know OBELIX 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.
