OLE

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

The OLE and siblings were rescued from a neglect situation. The OLE is shy and gets scared when we try to pick him up, but then relaxes and even enjoys our affection. He just needs time to gain confidence. In a home, he would thrive. The OLE will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and with a microchip.

O Ole e irmãos foram resgatados duma situação de negligência. O Ole é tímido e até gane quando o tentamos pegar ao colo, mas depois relaxa e até aprecia os nossos mimos. Precisa apenas de tempo para ganhar confiança. Numa casa, ele iria transformar-se. O Ole será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About OLE

What life with OLE looks like

OLE is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Rescued from neglect situation, requires time and patience to build confidence

🇵🇹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 OLE, answered.

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