Zara

Mixed Breed · Female

A Zara is a warrior! They moved and left her with 9 hungry puppies to raise. Gratitude was what she showed right away at the shelter, where she raised and took very good care of her puppies. One by one she saw them go to new lives, at the right age and she stayed. Perhaps someone will come and see how she is, beautiful inside and out. And she can also give a new family unconditional love from a dog and receive a love for life as she deserves. She is medium size. She is spayed, dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped.

A Zara é uma guerreira ! Mudaram-se e deixaram-na com 9 pequeninos famintos para criar. Gratidão foi o que desde logo demonstrou no abrigo, onde criou e cuidou muito bem dos seus zarinhos. Um a um viu-os partir para novas vidas, na idade própria e ela ficou. Quem sabe, um humano chegue e a veja como é, linda por dentro e por fora. E também ela possa dar a uma nova família o amor incondicional de um cão e receber um amor para a vida como tanto merece. Tem porte médio. Está esterilizada, desparasitada, vacinada e microchipada.

About Zara

What life with Zara looks like

Zara is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Patas Errantes in Portugal.

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. Patas Errantes 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 — Patas Errantes 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 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 Patas Errantes 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
