SHEBA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sheba was left at the shelter by her owner, who gave several reasons for no longer being able to keep her: she lost her job, her landlord does not allow pets in the apartment, and she is pregnant. Unfortunately, faced with these changes in her life, Sheba ended up losing her home. Sheba is very sweet and gentle. She is a little hesitant at first contact, but she gains confidence quickly. She is very sociable with other dogs and loves to play. She walks well on a leash and, as far as we know, is used to living in a house. She will be rehomed vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Sheba foi deixada no abrigo pela sua dona, que apresentou vários motivos para já não poder ficar com ela: ficou desempregada, o senhorio não permite animais no apartamento e está grávida. Infelizmente, perante estas mudanças na sua vida, a Sheba acabou por perder a sua casa. A Sheba é muito meiga e gentil. É um pouco hesitante num primeiro contacto, mas ganha confiança rapidamente. É muito sociável com outros cães e adora brincar. Passeia bem à trela e, pelo que sabemos, está habituada a viver numa casa. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About SHEBA

What life with SHEBA looks like

SHEBA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

A young 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 often arranged before placement. Adoption fees often cover some or all of the vet workup, so confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting SHEBA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SHEBA?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 SHEBA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SHEBA if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask O Cantinho da Milu whether they will for SHEBA, what they require (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 SHEBA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: O Cantinho da Milu lists SHEBA as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by O Cantinho da Milu, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if SHEBA isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask O Cantinho da Milu about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know SHEBA 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.
