Adopt Roberto

Mixed Breed · Male

Characteristics: vaccinated, dewormed, and neutered. I was wandering alone, moving very slowly, head hung low. A kind-hearted being picked me up and brought me to the animal rescue association Bianca. They immediately noticed that I was anemic; my gums were white, with no sign of blood… They ran tests and treated me in a way no one had ever treated me before. Wow, I didn't know this existed 😉 Such good care! I was given a name, and I am Roberto. I am the sweetest, and I am friendly with both dogs and people.

Características: vacinado, desparasitado e castrado Eu andava na estrada, muito devagarinho, cabisbaixo. Um ser de bom coração, agarrou em mim e foi-me entregar na Associação Bianca. Viram logo que eu estava anémico, as minhas gengivas estavam brancas, sem sinal de sangue…Fizeram análises e trataram de mim de uma forma que nunca ninguém o tinha feito. Opá, não sabia que isto existia 😉 Que carinho bom! Ganhei um nome, sou o Roberto. Mais meigo que eu não existe, sou sociável com cães e pessoas. Sou um ser de paz 🙂 Também disponível para apadrinhamento !

About Roberto

What life with Roberto looks like

Roberto is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Bianca APS 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 Roberto, answered.

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