YARA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

A YARA was rescued from a municipal dog shelter. We know that she was previously found on the street. She is a very sweet and gentle female dog, with a shy look but full of will to trust. At first approach she may show some reserve, but it's enough to give her time and affection for her to gain confidence and become attached to the person who treats her with attention. All that YARA needs is a quiet and safe environment, where she feels protected and can flourish at her own pace. She is also social with other dogs and knows how to walk on a leash. YARA is ready to find a family that gives her the time and love she deserves. She will be delivered vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and with a microchip.

A Yara foi resgatada dum canil municipal. Sabemos que foi previamente encontrada na rua. É uma cadela muito doce e meiga, com um olhar tímido mas cheio de vontade de confiar. À primeira abordagem pode mostrar alguma reserva, mas basta dar-lhe tempo e carinho para que ganhe confiança e se apegue à pessoa que a trata com atenção. Tudo o que a Yara precisa é de um ambiente tranquilo e seguro, onde se sinta protegida e possa florescer ao seu ritmo. É também sociável com outros cães e sabe andar à trela. A Yara está pronta para encontrar uma família que lhe dê o tempo e o amor que merece. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About YARA

What life with YARA looks like

YARA 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 YARA, answered.

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