THAI

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Thai and Goa entered the shelter because their owner is very sick and desperately asked for her 2 dogs to be welcomed and treated with much love. The dogs are very scared at the shelter. We were surprised because they are dogs used to human contact, but this separation really traumatized the girls. It's heartbreaking. The shelter is not the best place for them. It's highly stressful. Thai and Goa need a home, a family. They don't need to be adopted together. They will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed and sterilized.

A Thai e a Goa deram entrada no Cantinho porque a dona está muito doente e pediu desesperadamente que as suas 2 cadelas fossem acolhidas e tratadas com muito amor. As cadelas estão muito assustadas no abrigo. Ficámos surpreendidos porque até são cadelas habituadas ao contacto humano, mas esta separação traumatizou mesmo as meninas. É de cortar o coração. O abrigo não é o melhor lugar para elas. É altamente stressante. A Thai e a Goa precisam duma casa, duma família. Não precisam de ser adotadas juntas. Serão entregues vacinadas, desparasitadas e esterilizadas.

About THAI

What life with THAI looks like

THAI is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Traumatized by separation from owner, very scared in shelter environment, needs patient family

🇵🇹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 THAI, answered.

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