VITORIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Victoria was rescued from an animal hoarder who had many dogs like her, all neglected and with very little human contact and attention. Victoria is very sweet and gentle. She is quite shy with strangers, but trusts people she knows. In a home, she would have all the conditions to gain confidence and show her true personality. She gets along well with all other dogs. She walks well on a leash. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

A Vitoria foi resgatada de um acumulador de animais, que tinha muitos cães como ela, todos negligenciados e com muito pouco contacto e atenção humana. A Vitoria é muito meiga e gentil. É bastante tímida com desconhecidos, mas confia nas pessoas que conhece. Num lar, teria todas as condições para ganhar confiança e mostrar a sua verdadeira personalidade. Dá-se bem com todos os outros cães. Passeia bem à trela. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About VITORIA

What life with VITORIA looks like

VITORIA 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 VITORIA, answered.

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