Pete

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

I was taken to the shelter in April 2021. I was always walking on the street and was always going to the dog shelter because my owner couldn't keep me at home. I preferred to walk on the street rather than stay at home. He eventually agreed to give me to the animal rescue association so they could find another home for me.

eu fui levado para o abrigo em abril de 2021. Andava sempre na rua e estava sempre a ir para o Canil pois o meu dono não me conseguia prender em casa. Eu gostava mais de andar na rua do que ficar em casa. Ele acabou por concordar em dar-me à associação para encontrarem outra casa para mim.

About Pete

What life with Pete looks like

Pete is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota in Cadela Carlota.

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 Pete, answered.

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