How do I contact the shelter about STACY?

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 STACY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt STACY 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 STACY 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 STACY 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 STACY 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.

STACY

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A STACY was surrendered to the our shelter by her tutors, who moved to a foreign country and decided not to take her along. She was abandoned together with another dog. People left two dogs behind to start a new life in another country. The STACY is very sweet, gentle, and people-oriented. She loves human company, comes when called, asks for cuddles, and walks well on a leash. She loves to go for walks and attaches easily to her humans, wanting to monopolize their attention. She seems to be accustomed to children and is very affectionate with them. The STACY lived with another dog and, at the shelter, shares the dog shelter with several males and females. However, she was returned from one adoption because she wanted to have her humans all to herself and did not get along well with the resident dog. Therefore, we feel she should be the only dog in her new family. She was also returned from a second adoption after only 24 hours because she was not very friendly to other dogs during walks in the city. In fact, many dogs react this way, but the adopter decided to return her shortly after a conflict with a neighbor's dog on the stairs. The STACY is not a difficult dog; she just had a lot of bad luck. She needs a home without other dogs and people with patience to educate her, if needed. She is extremely sweet and deserves a new chance. The STACY will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

A Stacy foi entregue no abrigo pelos seus tutores, que se mudaram para o estrangeiro e decidiram não levá-la consigo. Foi abandonada juntamente com outro cão. As pessoas deixaram para trás dois cães para começarem uma nova vida noutro país. A Stacy é muito doce, meiga e orientada para as pessoas. Adora companhia humana, vem quando é chamada, pede mimos e anda bem à trela. Gosta muito de passear e apega-se facilmente aos seus humanos, querendo monopolizar a sua atenção. Parece estar habituada a crianças, é muito carinhosa com elas. A Stacy vivia com outro cão e, no abrigo, partilha o canil com vários machos e fêmeas. No entanto, já foi devolvida de uma adoção porque queria ter os seus humanos só para ela e não se deu bem com o cão residente. Por isso, sentimos que deve ser filha única na nova família. Foi também devolvida de uma segunda adoção após apenas 24 horas, por se ter mostrado pouco amistosa com outros cães durante os passeios na cidade. Na verdade, muitos cães reagem assim, mas o adotante decidiu devolvê-la logo após um conflito com o cão de um vizinho nas escadas. A Stacy não é uma cadela difícil, apenas teve muito azar. Precisa de um lar sem outros cães e de pessoas com paciência para a educar, se necessário. É extremamente doce e merece uma nova oportunidade. A Stacy será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About STACY

What life with STACY looks like

STACY 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: Must be only dog in household - reactive to other dogs during walks and territorial with resident dogs

🇵🇹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.
