POMPOM

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

A POMPOM was found on the street. She was very scared. It was very difficult to catch her. She is still quite distrustful of people, so she barks and does not let herself be touched. She is an unpredictable dog. The POMPOM needs a family that gives her time and patience to gain her trust. She is a gentle and social dog with other dogs. She behaves well on leash walks. The POMPOM will be handed over vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and with a microchip.

PT·Show original

A Pompom foi encontrada na rua. Estava assustadíssima. Foi muito difícil apanhá-la. Ainda é bastante desconfiada com pessoas, pelo que ladra e não se deixa tocar. É uma cadela imprevisível. A Pompom precisa de uma família que lhe dê tempo e paciência para conquistar a confiança dela. É uma cadela meiga e sociável com outros cães. Porta-se bem nos passeios de trela. A Pompom será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About POMPOM

What life with POMPOM looks like

POMPOM is a small 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.

Note from the shelter: Extremely fearful and distrustful of people, requires patient rehabilitation

🇵🇹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 POMPOM, answered.

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