How do I contact the shelter about Violeta?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cadela Carlota & Companhia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Violeta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Violeta if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cadela Carlota & Companhia 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 Violeta 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 Violeta 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 Cadela Carlota & Companhia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Violeta 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.

Violeta

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

I am an energetic dog and sometimes I can't contain my enthusiasm. Date of birth: 16.01.2023 Gender: female Size: medium My life story: I had a complicated start in life. I belonged to a family that no longer wanted me and ended up giving me to a shelter that had me in their care because they couldn't afford to keep me. A family that lived nearby saw the situation and saw how sad I was and asked the shelter to give me to them, which they did in exchange for the expenses they had incurred with me. The family saved me from the shelter, but unfortunately they also couldn't keep me, so they took me to the shelter, where I have been living since January 2025. My temperament: I am an energetic dog and sometimes I can't contain my enthusiasm. I love having attention all to myself and I love walking, which was something I wasn't used to. I am affectionate and gentle and enthusiastic about everything happening around me. I still have a lot to discover and learn and therefore need a patient family with an active lifestyle, who can teach me everything I don't know yet and take me on long walks and exercise. I need a house with an outdoor space where I can stretch my legs and run long distances.

Sou uma cadela cheia de energia e, às vezes, não consigo conter o meu entusiasmo. Data de nascimento: 16.01.2023 Género: fêmea Porte: médio A minha história de vida: tive um início de vida complicado. Comecei por pertencer a uma família que, por não me querer mais, acabou por me entregar a um sem abrigo que me tinha na corrente, pois não tinha condições para me manter. Uma família que vivia perto viu a situação e viu como eu estava triste e pediram ao sem abrigo para me entregar, o que ele fez em troca do pagamento das despesas que tinha tido comigo. A família salvou-me da corrente, mas infelizmente também não me podia manter com eles, por isso levaram-me para o abrigo, onde vivo desde janeiro de 2025. O meu temperamento: sou uma cadela cheia de energia e, às vezes, não consigo conter o meu entusiasmo. Adoro ter a atenção só para mim e adoro passear, que era uma coisa à qual não estava habituada. Sou afetuosa e sou meiga e entusiasta por tudo o que se passa à minha volta. Ainda tenho muito para conhecer e aprender e, por isso, preciso de uma família paciente e com uma vida ativa, que me ensine tudo o que eu não sei ainda e me leve em grandes passeios e a fazer exercício. Preciso de uma casa com espaço exterior onde eu possa esticar as pernas e dar grandes corridas.

About Violeta

What life with Violeta looks like

Violeta is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

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.
