PETRA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

We rescued from Coina a large group of 18 dogs. The PETRA was lucky enough to go to a Temporary Foster Family, which gave her the opportunity to socialize more. She remains a shy dog, but with a patient family she will become a much more social and affectionate dog, as she is sweet. She gets along well with other dogs. She is vaccinated, dewormed and spayed.

Resgatámos de Coina uma enorme matilha de 18 cães. A Petra teve a sorte de seguir para uma Família de Acolhimento Temporária, pelo que teve a oportunidade de sociabilizar mais. Continua uma cadela tímida, mas com uma família paciente ela irá transformar-se numa cadela muito mais sociável e afeituosa, pois ela é meiguinha. Dá-se bem com outros cães. Está vacinada, desparasitada e esterilizada.

About PETRA

What life with PETRA looks like

PETRA 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.

🇵🇹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 PETRA, answered.

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