ROISIN

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

A elderly lady decided to adopt a dog. But the dog grew big and strong, and there came a time when the owner could no longer take her for walks. So, the ROISIN spent months locked up in an apartment, without walks, until she was eventually surrendered to the our shelter. The ROISIN is just a large, friendly dog who hasn't quite grasped her size yet. She loves people, constantly seeks attention and affection, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She runs, plays, and lives life with all the energy of her age. She needs daily exercise and a family that understands the needs of a young and active dog. She walks on a leash, though she still pulls a bit. However, she is intelligent, learns quickly, and we are certain that with some guidance and consistency, she will improve rapidly. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

Uma senhora idosa decidiu adotar uma cachorra. Mas a cachorra cresceu, tornou-se grande e forte, e chegou um momento em que a dona deixou de a conseguir passear. Assim, a Roisin passou meses fechada num apartamento, sem passeios, até acabar por ser entregue no abrigo. A Roisin é apenas uma grande cachorra amigável que ainda não tem noção do seu tamanho. Adora pessoas, procura constantemente atenção e carinho, e gosta muito da companhia de outros cães. Corre, brinca e aproveita a vida com toda a energia própria da idade. Precisa de exercício diário e de uma família que compreenda as necessidades de um cão jovem e ativo. Passeia à trela, embora ainda puxe um pouco. No entanto, é inteligente, aprende depressa e temos a certeza de que, com alguma orientação e consistência, irá melhorar rapidamente. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ROISIN

What life with ROISIN looks like

ROISIN is a large 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. 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.

🇵🇹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 ROISIN, answered.

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