PAULA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Paula is one of 5 puppies abandoned at someone's door. She is a bit shy and distrustful but it's just a matter of time until she gains confidence. In a calm and experienced home, she will transform. She gets along well with all dogs and is very playful. Will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, sterilized and with microchip.

PT·Show original

A Paula foi abandonada com os seus irmãos em casa da D. Milu. A Paula é reservada com estranhos, mantém distância e ladra-lhes. Precisa de tempo para ganhar confiança e acreditamos que evoluiria numa casa nova, confiando nos seus donos, ainda que continue sempre desconfiada com estranhos. Por outro lado, é amigável e brincalhona com outros cães. Não anda à trela, mas gosta de andar de carro. A Paula será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About PAULA

What life with PAULA looks like

PAULA is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An young 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 PAULA, answered.

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