Adopt Pimentão

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

The Pimentão is a puppy rescued from the street, along with her sister Canela. Their mothers are not being caught, nor with the trapping boxes. They lived too long on the street, long enough to come with fear and some skin problems. But in the short time they have been at the shelter, they wag their tails and their fur and health are improving quite a bit. All they needed was a little love and affection. We are looking for a family that falls in love with the Pimentão and adopts him. Medium size, 4 months, dewormed and vaccinated. Contact (+351) 918570448 (call to national mobile network)

O Pimentão é um cachorrinho resgatado da rua, juntamente com a sua mana Canela. As suas mães não se deixam apanhar, nem com as caixas de captura. Viveram demasiado tempo na rua, tempo suficiente para virem com medo e com alguns problemas na pele. Mas no pouco tempo que estão no abrigo já abanam as suas caudas e o seu pêlo e saúde está a melhorar bastante. Tudo o que precisavam era de um bocadinho de amor e carinho. Procuramos uma família que se apaixone pelo Pimentão e o adote. Porte médio, 4 meses, desparasitado e vacinado. Contacte o (+351) 918570448 (chamada para rede móvel nacional)

About Pimentão

What life with Pimentão looks like

Pimentão is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Quatro Patas e Focinhos in Portugal.

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 Pimentão, answered.

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