SANDRO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

The SANDRO was left at the shelter by its own owners who do not spay or neuter their animals. The SANDRO is a gentle but cautious dog. He has developed a habit at the shelter of approaching people he does not know from behind and biting! This can obviously be trained with positive reinforcement since it is a young dog that learns quickly. The SANDRO will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered, and with a microchip.

O Sandro foi deixado no abrigo pelos próprios donos que não esterilizam seus animais. O Sandro é um cão meigo mas desconfiado. Ganhou uma mania no abrigo que é chegar por detrás das pessoas que não conhece e abocanhar! É algo que pode ser obviamente treinado com reforço positivo pois é um cão jóvem que aprende depressa. O Sandro será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About SANDRO

What life with SANDRO looks like

SANDRO is a medium-sized adult mixed breed 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.

Note from the shelter: Behavioral issue - approaches unknown people from behind and bites, requires positive reinforcement training

🇵🇹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 SANDRO, answered.

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