Paquito

Mixed Breed · Unknown

I am Mr. Paquito, small size, adult, very friendly with people and other animals, always in a good mood and ready for a run. I need a friendly family like me, with a yard or terrace where I can stretch my legs with some runs… dewormed and vaccinated.

Sou o sr. Paquito, porte pequeno, adulto, muito sociável com pessoas e outros animais, sempre bem disposto e pronto para uma corrida. Preciso de uma família simpática como eu, com um quintal ou terraço onde eu consiga esticar as patas com umas corridas… Desparasitado e vacinado.

About Paquito

What life with Paquito looks like

Paquito is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Quatro Patas e Focinhos in Portugal.

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.

🇵🇹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 Paquito, answered.

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