ULYSSES

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Ulysses came to us from a local municipal shelter. It is a small and overcrowded space where dogs are kept in unsafe conditions, and this poor little dog ended up being bitten by other dogs. But now he is fine. Ulysses is a very sweet boy who loves human attention and cuddles. He is sociable with other dogs. He walks very well on a leash. He will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

O Ulysses veio até nós de um canil municipal local. É um espaço pequeno e sobrelotado, onde os cães são mantidos em condições pouco seguras, e este pobre cãozinho acabou por ser mordido por outros cães. Mas agora está bem. O Ulysses é um menino muito meigo, que adora atenção humana e miminhos. É sociável com outros cães. Passeia muito bem à trela. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About ULYSSES

What life with ULYSSES looks like

ULYSSES is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at O Cantinho da Milu in Lisbon.

An young 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 ULYSSES, answered.

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