ROSIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

A ROSIE had a home since puppyhood, along with her sister. The family emigrated abroad and the two female dog entered the Cantinho da Milu. The first day at the shelter for ROSIE was a shock. After a few days of adaptation, they let her out of her dog shelter to interact with other dogs and everything went well. She is also a lively young dog, so she needs an active lifestyle and a large space to play. She also needs a calm, gentle owner with experience with dogs. She is vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed.

PT·Show original

A Rosie tinha um lar desde cachorrinha, junto com a sua irmã. A família emigrou para o estrangeiro e as 2 cadelas deram entrada no Cantinho da Milu. O primeiro dia no abrigo para Rosie foi um choque. Depois de alguns dias de adaptação deixaram-na sair do seu canil para interagir com os outros cães e correu tudo bem. É também uma miúda enérgica pelo que necessita de um estilo de vida activo e de um espaço grande para brincar. Necessita também de um tutor calmo, meigo e que tenha experiência com cães. Está vacinada, desparasitada e esterilizada.

About ROSIE

What life with ROSIE looks like

ROSIE is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹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 ROSIE, answered.

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