TOMMY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

TOMMY was abandoned at our shelter by its former owners. For some people, there’s no need for much justification to abandon a dog, and it’s far too easy. TOMMY is a lovely and very friendly dog with people. He adores human company, is gentle, and seeks to please. He walks well on a leash. He gets along well with other dogs, although he has had some conflicts with other males; he has never had any issues with females. He will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.

O Tommy foi abandonado no abrigo pelos seus antigos donos. Seja qual for o motivo, para algumas pessoas não é preciso grande justificação, é demasiado fácil abandonar um cão. O Tommy é um cão adorável e muito amigável com as pessoas. Adora a companhia humana, é meigo e procura agradar. Passeia bem à trela. Dá-se bem com outros cães, embora tenha havido alguns conflitos com outros machos; com fêmeas nunca houve qualquer problema. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About TOMMY

What life with TOMMY looks like

TOMMY is a medium-sized 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. 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 TOMMY, answered.

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