SPOCK

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

The SPOCK and his brother Scotty were surrendered by their own owner. Another unwanted litter... people who don't spay or neuter their pets... The SPOCK gets a bit nervous in new situations or in the presence of people he doesn't know. He wasn't properly socialized, as he and his brother grew up in a yard with little human contact. However, he is a gentle and friendly dog. He deserves a chance. He doesn't walk on a leash. Life in a city would be confusing and risky for him. The SPOCK will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and with a microchip.

O Spock e o irmão Scotty foram cedidos pelo próprio dono. Mais uma ninhada indesejada...pessoas que não esterilizam os animais de casa... O Spock fica um pouco nervoso em situações novas ou na presença de pessoas que não conhece. Não foi devidamente sociabilizado, pois ele e o irmão cresceram num quintal com pouco contato humano. Contudo é um cão meigo e sociável. Merece uma oportunidade. Não anda de trela. A vida numa cidade será confusa e arriscada para ele. O Spock será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About SPOCK

What life with SPOCK looks like

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

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Not leash trained, poorly socialized, needs rural environment

🇵🇹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 SPOCK, answered.

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