PIXIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

A PIXIE was left at the shelter along with her brother by a woman who said the dogs had been abandoned at her house, but we believe they were hers. PIXIE is a bit insecure at first contact, but gains confidence quickly. She loves attention from people and gets along well with other dogs. PIXIE will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

A Pixie é um pouco insegura no primeiro contacto, mas ganha confiança rapidamente. Adora a atenção das pessoas e dá-se bem com outros cães.

About PIXIE

What life with PIXIE looks like

PIXIE is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 PIXIE, answered.

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