TEKA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

A TEKA was found on the street, extremely thin and weakened. She was skin and bones... Since she arrived at the shelter, she received all the necessary care, recovered her health, gained weight and is now a beautiful, lively dog. The TEKA is absolutely adorable - very gentle, calm and affectionate. She loves human attention and always responds with affection. She is also social with other dogs and gets along well in a group. She walks well on a leash and is an excellent companion for someone looking for a sweet and balanced female dog. The TEKA will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and with a microchip.

A Teka foi encontrada na rua, extremamente magra e debilitada. Estava pele e osso… Desde que chegou ao abrigo, recebeu todos os cuidados necessários, recuperou a saúde, ganhou peso e está agora uma cadela linda e cheia de vida. A Teka é absolutamente adorável — muito meiga, tranquila e carinhosa. Adora atenção humana e responde sempre com afeto. É também sociável com outros cães e convive bem no grupo. Anda bem de trela e mostra-se uma excelente companheira para quem procura uma cadela doce e equilibrada. A Teka será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About TEKA

What life with TEKA looks like

TEKA is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting TEKA, answered.

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