Rosa

Female

Characteristics: vaccinated, dewormed and spayed. I lived on the street, because my guardians moved house and left me there on the street… just like my sister Margarida. I had my puppies on the street… and someone took me to the Associação Bianca. Here I got to know affection, love, and everything I had never had before. All my babies have been adopted. I'm a little wary of humans I don't know; I think they understand why, since I already trusted people and got hurt… But I really want to be given a second chance. I'm a calm, serene young girl, I just want peace and love in my life. Also available for sponsorship!

Características: vacinada, desparasitada e esterilizada Eu vivia na rua, pois os meus tutores mudaram de casa e deixaram-me ali na rua… tal como a minha irmã Margarida. Tive os meus cachorros na rua… e alguém me levou para a Associação Bianca. Aqui conheci o carinho, o amor, e tudo o que não tinha tido ainda. Os meus bebes foram todos adotados. Tenho um pouco de receio dos humanos que não conheço, acho que percebem porquê, já confiei neles e dei-me mal… Mas quero muito dar uma segunda oportunidade. Sou uma jovem calma e serena, só quero paz e amor na minha vida Também disponível para apadrinhamento !

About Rosa

What life with Rosa looks like

Rosa is a medium-sized adult 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 Rosa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rosa?: 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 Rosa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rosa 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rosa 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 Rosa 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 Rosa 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.
