Adopt Our Dogs

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 6 months

To adopt a dog from us, let us know which dog you are interested in by completing the short form on this page. We will get back to you and arrange a time to visit to the dog. If the visit goes well, we can arrange a home visit to check that your property is suitable for the you’ve dog chosen and if everything is OK then a home trial. If the home trial goes well for both you and the dog, the adoption will be confirmed and adoption paperwork will be completed including the change of microchip and the adoption contract. We also ask for an adoption fee of €100 for puppies and €150 for dogs which includes sterilisation. If you live outside of Portugal we can still arrange adoptions. Please reach out to us if you are interested and we can explain the process. If you are unable to physically adopt a dog from us, you could choose to sponsor one of our sanctuary dogs for €25 per month. Some of our dogs are unable to be rehomed due to health or behavioural issues and will stay with us for the remainder of their lives as a sanctuary dog. The monthly donation helps us to cover food, medications and medical bills for your chosen dogs. To virtually adopt one of our sanctuary dogs please contact us with your chosen dog and we will let you know the payment details. We will regularly send you updates of your dog and you are welcome to visit them.

About Our Dogs

What life with Our Dogs looks like

Our Dogs is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at A Dog's Life Rescue in Eastern Algarve.

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 Our Dogs, answered.

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