Zoe

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Zoe was handed in to one of the public shelters around 6 months ago with 5, two day old puppies - I was asked to take her and collected her later the same day. Sadly, the smallest pup died a few days later, the remaining pups were string and healthy and we're all adopted by 4 months of age. As usual, mama dog was left behind. Zoe is a sweet, friendly, playful 2 year old mixed breed, weighing around 8kg. Zoe loves people and dogs - she loves to snuggle with her humans and all the ADR dogs and pups love her. If you are interested in adopting Zoe please send a message.

About Zoe

What life with Zoe looks like

Zoe is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Azores Dog Rescue in Portugal.

A 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zoe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zoe?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Azores Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zoe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zoe if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Azores Dog Rescue 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 Zoe 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 Zoe 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 Azores Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zoe 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
