PINA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Pina was rescued from a neglectful situation: someone was keeping over 50 dogs in very poor conditions. We took in 17 of these dogs, and other associations rescued the rest. Pina came to our shelter. She is a very shy dog and gets easily worried in new environments. At the same time, she is very sweet, gentle, and really wants to trust. In the right home, she will flourish. She is sociable with other dogs and walks well on a leash. Pina will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Pina foi resgatada de uma situação de negligência: alguém mantinha mais de 50 cães em condições muito precárias. Acolhemos 17 desses cães, e outras associações resgataram os restantes. A Pina veio para o nosso abrigo. É uma cadela bastante tímida e fica facilmente preocupada em ambientes novos. Ao mesmo tempo, é muito doce, meiga, e quer mesmo confiar. Na casa certa, vai florescer. É sociável com outros cães e anda bem à trela. A Pina será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About PINA

What life with PINA looks like

PINA is a medium-sized 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 PINA, answered.

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