ZARA

Cane Corso · Female · Adult · 7 years

Zara and her brother Zorro were left at a municipal shelter by their former owner for reasons that are hard to understand. They are two adorable dogs. Zara is a beautiful female dog, very gentle with people, obedient and affectionate. When we give her attention, she can't stop wagging her tail. She knows how to sit when asked and walks very well on a leash. Zara gets along with her brother Zorro, but we were told she doesn't like other dogs. She will be given up vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and microchipped.

A Zara e o seu irmão Zorro foram deixados num canil municipal pelo seu antigo dono, por motivos difíceis de compreender. São dois cães adoráveis. A Zara é uma cadela linda, muito gentil com as pessoas, obediente e carinhosa. Quando lhe damos atenção, não para de abanar a cauda. Sabe sentar-se quando lhe pedem e passeia muito bem à trela. A Zara dá-se bem com o seu irmão Zorro, mas foi-nos dito que não gosta de outros cães. Será entregue vacinada, desparasitada, esterilizada e com microchip.

About ZARA

What life with ZARA looks like

ZARA is a large adult cane corso 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 ZARA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ZARA?: 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 ZARA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ZARA 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ZARA 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 ZARA 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 ZARA 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.
