TIMI

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

TIMI was left at the shelter by his own owner who kept him on a leash. TIMI was very neglected. He had tests and came back positive for tick fever, heartworm disease, and leishmaniasis. He has already been treated. Now the leishmaniasis is controlled and he only takes half a tablet of allopurinol a day. It's an inexpensive medication. TIMI can lead a perfectly normal life as long as he is medicated, dewormed, and checked annually by the veterinarian. TIMI is a sweet dog, a bit shy when he doesn't know people but it's just a matter of time. He has never been treated with love and care, but that will change. He is a gentle and submissive dog who gets along with all the dogs. He behaves well on leash walks. He deserves the best and we will not give up one day in finding him a good family. TIMI will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered, and with a microchip.

O Timi foi deixado no abrigo pelo próprio dono que o mantinha à corrente. O Timi estava muito negligenciado. Fez exames e deu positivo a febre da carraça, dirofilariose e leishmaniose. Já foi tratado. Agora a leishmaniose está controlada e toma apenas meio comprimido de alopurinol por dia. É uma medicação barata. O Timi pode levar uma vida perfeitamente normal desde que esteja medicado, devimanete desparasitado e acompanhado anualmente no veterinário. O Timi é um doce, um pouco tímido quando não conhece as pessoas mas é só uma questão de tempo. Nunca foi tratado com amor e carinho, mas isso vai mudar. É um cão meigo e submisso que se dá com todos os cães. Porta-se bem nos passeios de trela. Merece o melhor e não desistimos um dia de lhe encontrar uma boa família. O Timi será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About TIMI

What life with TIMI looks like

TIMI 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: Controlled leishmaniasis requiring daily half tablet of allopurinol, annual veterinary monitoring

🇵🇹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 TIMI, answered.

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