Rascal

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Rascal was left at the shelter by its owner. The owners divorced and gave up the dog they had for over 10 years. Rascal deserves better. It is very sweet, gentle, and friendly. It is accustomed to people and loves attention. It gets along well with other dogs, walks very well on a leash, and is accustomed to living inside the house. It is no longer young, but in good health and we hope it can still have a few good years in a home full of love. It will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.

O Rascal foi deixado no abrigo pelo seu dono. Os donos divorciaram-se e entregaram o cão que tiveram durante mais de 10 anos. O Rascal merece melhor. É muito doce, gentil e amigável. Está habituado a pessoas e adora atenção. Dá-se bem com outros cães, anda muito bem à trela e está habituado a viver dentro de casa. Já não é jovem, mas de boa saúde e esperamos que ainda possa ter alguns bons anos num lar cheio de carinho. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About Rascal

What life with Rascal looks like

Rascal is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 Rascal, answered.

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