SAMU

Male · Adult · 6 years

The SAMU was rescued from a municipal dog shelter. He is a bit shy when he doesn't know people, but it's just a matter of time until he gains confidence. He is a gentle and social dog with other dogs, even submissive. He walks well on a leash. The SAMU will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and with a microchip.

O Samu foi resgatado dum canil municipal. É um pouco tímido quando não conhece as pessoas, mas é só uma questão de tempo até ganhar confiança. É um cão meigo e sociável com outros cães, até submisso. Anda bem de trela. O Samu será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About SAMU

What life with SAMU looks like

SAMU is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 SAMU, answered.

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