How do I adopt an animal from Patas Errantes?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Patas Errantes directly using the website link listed above. Patas Errantes 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 often arranged before placement. Adoption fees often cover some or all of the vet workup, so confirm with the shelter.
Can I adopt from Patas Errantes if I live in another country?
It depends on Patas Errantes and on the countries involved, so ask them first whether they place animals abroad. For travel between EU countries, the animal needs a pet passport, a microchip (ISO 11784/11785) and a valid rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel, and must be at least 15 weeks old. The adopter usually 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 Patas Errantes a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Patas Errantes 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 Patas Errantes?
Adoption fees vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Patas Errantes directly. Where a shelter has entered a fee for an animal, it shows on that animal's page. What a fee covers (for example vaccinations, microchip or sterilization) is up to the shelter, so ask Patas Errantes using the website link listed above for the exact fee and what it includes for an animal you're interested in.
