STELLA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Stella was found abandoned on the street along with Fido. She is a very sweet and gentle dog, but she is quite shy at first contact. She just needs some time to gain confidence and, given her young age, we believe she will soon leave behind everything she has experienced and reveal all of her personality. She gets along well with other dogs and is learning to walk on a leash. She will be released vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

PT·Show original

A Stella foi encontrada abandonada na rua, juntamente com o Fido. É uma cadela muito doce e meiga, mas no primeiro contacto é bastante tímida. Precisa apenas de algum tempo para ganhar confiança e, tendo em conta a sua pouca idade, acreditamos que em breve deixará para trás tudo o que viveu e revelará toda a sua personalidade. Dá-se bem com outros cães e está a aprender a passear à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada e com microchip.

About STELLA

What life with STELLA looks like

STELLA is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

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 STELLA, answered.

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