Adopt Simba

Whippet · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Simba is a wobbly fellow who can be described as a ball of energy that loves to run, though he has whippet genes somewhere in his background. He seems like a battery-powered dog, but we suspect that might be due to being confined in a dog shelter kennel. We believe that within a family and routine, he will reveal his more calm side. He loves and seeks human attention, so all he really needs is a family that can provide that and much more!

O Simba é um patudo que pode ser descrito como uma bolinha de energia que adora correr, não fosse ele ter genes de whippet algures. Parece um cão a pilhas, mas suspeitamos que isso deve-se a estar fechado numa box de canil. Acreditamos que no seio duma família e rotina revele o seu lado mais calmo. Gosta e procura atenção humana, pelo que agora só lhe falta mesmo uma família que lhe consiga proporcionar isso e muito mais!

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a medium-sized puppy/kitten whippet dog waiting at Sítio dos Animais — Sintra in Sintra.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇹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 Simba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sítio dos Animais — Sintra handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simba if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sítio dos Animais — Sintra 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 Simba 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 Simba 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 Sítio dos Animais — Sintra early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simba 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.
