TROOPER

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Trooper was found on the street. He had a microchip and his previous owner was contacted, who informed that she had already given him to someone else, although she couldn't remember who, as she had several dogs and had given them to different people. As a result, Trooper ended up at the shelter looking for a new family. Trooper is an extremely sweet and gentle dog. He is very affectionate, loves people's attention and, above all, being on someone's lap and receiving cuddles. He gets along well with other dogs and walks well on a leash. Everything indicates that he is used to living indoors. He will be given vaccinated, dewormed, neutered and microchipped.

PT·Show original

O Trooper foi encontrado na rua. Tinha microchip e foi possível contactar a sua antiga tutora, que informou que já o tinha dado a outra pessoa, embora não soubesse indicar a quem, uma vez que tinha vários cães e os tinha entregado a diferentes pessoas. Assim, o Trooper acabou por ficar no abrigo à procura de uma nova família. O Trooper é um cão extremamente doce e meigo. É muito carinhoso, adora a atenção das pessoas e, sobretudo, estar ao colo e receber mimos. Dá-se bem com outros cães e passeia bem à trela. Tudo indica que esteja habituado a viver dentro de casa. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About TROOPER

What life with TROOPER looks like

TROOPER is a small 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 TROOPER, answered.

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