Ringo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am a very calm, quiet and patient dog. Date of birth: 04.08.2020 Gender: male My life story: I was found by a lady who was walking her dog, trapped inside a small stream. I couldn't get out by myself, and she had to go down to help me climb up. I had my nails and front paws quite worn down, and I was very hungry. Since she couldn't keep me, the lady contacted Cadela Carlota to come and pick me up. Since July 2025, I have been in the shelter - my previous owner has never been found. My temperament: I am a very calm, quiet and patient dog. I like to lie in the sun, I hardly bark and I spend hours observing the world around me. I walk very well on a leash, I am gentle and get along well with both people and all other dogs. I believe I will be the ideal companion for a peaceful family, that likes moments of peace and enjoying the days outdoors by my side.

Sou um cão muito calmo, tranquilo e paciente. Data de nascimento: 04.08.2020 Género: macho A minha história de vida: fui encontrado por uma senhora que passeava o seu cão, preso dentro de um pequeno riacho. Não conseguia sair sozinho, e ela teve de descer para me ajudar a subir. Estava com as unhas e as patas da frente bastante desgastadas, e tinha muita fome. Como não podia ficar comigo, a senhora contactou a Cadela Carlota para que me viessem buscar. Desde julho de 2025, vivo no abrigo — o meu antigo dono nunca foi encontrado. O meu temperamento: sou um cão muito calmo, tranquilo e paciente. Gosto de me deitar ao sol, quase não ladro e passo horas a observar o mundo à minha volta. Ando muito bem à trela, sou meigo e dou-me bem tanto com pessoas como com todos os outros cães. Acredito que serei o companheiro ideal para uma família serena, que goste de momentos de paz e de aproveitar os dias ao ar livre ao meu lado.

About Ringo

What life with Ringo looks like

Ringo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

An 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 Ringo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ringo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cadela Carlota & Companhia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ringo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ringo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Ringo 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 Ringo 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 Cadela Carlota & Companhia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ringo 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.
