When you find an animal you'd like to meet, contact Expand Courage directly using the website in the sidebar. TailHarbor doesn't take any role in the adoption itself — we just make it easier for you to find the animal in the first place.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where is Expand Courage located?

Expand Courage currently has 1 animal listed on TailHarbor. That includes 1 dog. The inventory is refreshed daily from the shelter's own listing system.
How do I adopt an animal from Expand Courage?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Expand Courage directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Expand Courage handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor. 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.
Can I adopt from Expand Courage if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Expand Courage typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is Expand Courage a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Expand Courage is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Expand Courage?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Expand Courage directly. Typical fees in Portugal cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Expand Courage via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
