Tina

Mixed Breed · Female

Tina is one of those animals that wins people over quietly. Sociable with both humans and other animals, she loves being close to us and showering us with little kisses—as if saying, “I’m right here.” She has a calm gaze and a heart full of eagerness to explore the world beyond the shelter’s walls. She dreams of something simple: a family all her own, walks, a routine, and lots of presence and love. Unfortunately, she’s one of those dogs who often goes unnoticed—and adoption visits almost never reach her. But we believe that somewhere out there, there’s someone who hasn’t yet realized they’re looking for her. Date of Birth: 08/2015 | Medium size

PT·Show original

A Tina é daqueles animais que conquistam de forma silenciosa. Sociável com pessoas e outros animais, adora estar perto de nós e distribuir beijinhos como quem diz “estou aqui”. Tem um olhar tranquilo e um coração cheio de vontade de descobrir o mundo para lá das paredes do abrigo. Sonha com algo simples: uma família só dela, passeios, rotina, presença e amor. Infelizmente, é uma daquelas cadelas que muitas vezes passa despercebida… e as visitas para adoção quase nunca chegam até ela. Mas acreditamos que, algures, existe alguém que ainda não percebeu que a procura. Data de Nascimento 08/2015 | Porte médio

About Tina

What life with Tina looks like

Tina is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associacao Midas in Portugal.

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.

🇵🇹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 Tina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tina?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associacao Midas handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tina if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associacao Midas 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 Tina 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 Tina 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 Associacao Midas early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tina 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.
