How do I contact the shelter about ROBINA?

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 ROBINA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ROBINA 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 ROBINA 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 ROBINA 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 ROBINA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

ROBINA

Female · Young · 3 years

A ROBINA was abandoned near our shelter in August 2024, tied to a pole right in front of the entrance. She was quickly adopted, but after a few months was returned, apparently not getting along with the resident dogs. At the shelter, the ROBINA always showed herself to be very social and friendly with other dogs. However, we know that family dynamics can change—dogs compete for their owners' attention and try to establish territory. Currently, back at the shelter, she shares space with several other dogs and there are no conflicts. The ROBINA is extremely gentle with people and loves affection. She lies on her back asking for belly rubs and loves having her belly rubbed. She does very well on a leash and is, overall, a happy, friendly, and very affectionate dog. She had a problem with her left hind leg that required surgery, as the knee would frequently dislocate and cause her to limp. The surgery went very well, and she has a metal plate that keeps her knee stable. This does not affect her at all: she does not feel discomfort and walks and runs normally, using her left hind leg perfectly. The ROBINA will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Robina foi abandonada perto do nosso abrigo em agosto de 2024, amarrada a um poste mesmo em frente ao portão. Foi rapidamente adotada, mas passados alguns meses acabou por ser devolvida, aparentemente por não se entender com os cães residentes. No abrigo, a Robina sempre se mostrou muito sociável e amigável com outros cães. No entanto, sabemos que num ambiente familiar as dinâmicas mudam — os cães competem pela atenção dos tutores e tentam marcar território. Neste momento, já de volta ao abrigo, partilha um espaço com vários cães e não há qualquer conflito. A Robina é extremamente dócil com pessoas e adora mimos. Deita-se de barriga para cima a pedir festinhas e adora que lhe façam festas na barriga. Anda muito bem à trela e é, no geral, uma cadela feliz, simpática e muito afetuosa. Teve um problema no joelho traseiro esquerdo que exigiu cirurgia, pois o joelho deslocava-se com frequência e causava-lhe claudicação. A cirurgia correu muito bem e a Robina ficou com uma placa metálica que mantém o joelho estável. Isto não a afeta em nada: não sente desconforto, e caminha e corre normalmente, usando perfeitamente a pata traseira esquerda. A Robina será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ROBINA

What life with ROBINA looks like

ROBINA is a large young adult 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Previous knee surgery with metal plate - fully recovered, walks and runs normally

🇵🇹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.
