ZORRO

Cane Corso · Male · Adult · 7 years

Zorro and his sister Zara were left at a municipal shelter by their former owner for reasons that are difficult to understand. They are two adorable dogs. Zorro is a beautiful dog, very kind to people, obedient and affectionate. When we give him attention, he can't stop wagging his tail. He is always cheerful and happy. He knows how to sit when asked and walks very well on a leash. He loves people. However, we were told that he doesn't get along well with other dogs, with his sister Zara being the only exception. He will be given up vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered, and with a microchip.

O Zorro e a sua irmã Zara foram deixados num canil municipal pelo seu antigo dono, por motivos difíceis de compreender. São dois cães adoráveis. O Zorro é um cão lindo, muito gentil com as pessoas, obediente e carinhoso. Quando lhe damos atenção, não para de abanar a cauda. É um cão sempre bem-disposto e feliz. Sabe sentar-se quando lhe pedem e passeia muito bem à trela. Adora pessoas. No entanto, foi-nos dito que não se dá bem com outros cães, sendo a sua irmã Zara a única exceção. Será entregue vacinado, desparasitado, esterilizado e com microchip.

About ZORRO

What life with ZORRO looks like

ZORRO 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 ZORRO, answered.

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