Willow was removed from the most appalling conditions, yet still she has a joy for life and is super friendly. She gets on well with the other dogs in her kennel and didn’t seem bothered by the outside cats at the canil. She has not ever experienced a loving home but we believe that she’ll thrive in a great home with a garden to explore, daily walks and a comfortable home life.

Willow will be sterilised, microchipped and receive a rabies vaccination. She will be health checked by the municipal vet prior to adoption. There is no adoption fee.

Willow can be adopted in Portugal, the EU and the UK. Homecheck and transportation costs apply to adopters outside of Portugal.

If you would like to adopt Willow or have any further questions, send us a message.

You are welcome to meet her at the canil.

Thor & Freddy (brothers) have been at the canil since 11/21. The two boys were three months old when they came in. They have never had a home and despite being well cared for at the canil, it cannot compare to growing up in a home. They are all very loving, friendly little dogs and deserve wonderful homes to thrive in. The staff at the canil are asking for adopters for these beautiful souls. Do you think that you can offer these dogs a new life?

They will be microchipped, sterilised and receive a rabies vaccination.

Jacinto is Thor & Freddy’s Dad.

Salvador is a calm, thoughtful boy who came into the canil in December 2025, after being found on the streets. He’s well-behaved and composed, with a quiet confidence that makes him a lovely presence to have around.

Salvador enjoys sniffing and exploring the world at his own pace – he’s more of an observant companion than a lap dog. He isn’t overly affectionate and doesn’t constantly seek physical contact, so he’d suit someone who values shared space, peaceful walks, and companionship without the need for constant cuddles.

At adoption, Salvador will be: sterilised, vaccinated against rabies and microchipped. He can be adopted in Portugal, the EU and the UK.

Buzz is a bouncy dog with energy that he is unable to release in his kennel. He has been at the canil for a year, far too long for such a handsome and sociable dog.

We first posted Spike in September 23 and he has now been at the canil for two years despite being full of joy, friendly and a handsome boy!

There are many sandy coloured, short-haired podengo-type dogs in the Canil, and it’s been hard for Tejo to make his mark. Sadly he’s been in there since he was 2 months old and when you get to know him it’s so hard to understand why.

Tejo has grown up into an absolute gentleman. He’s friendly but never overwhelming, he has a permanently sunny nature despite what life has thrown at him, and he’s a delight to walk with. He has a placid temperament with a hint of playfulness, and he’s attentive and affectionate. Tejo loves his walks but never pulls. He is not bothered by traffic, cats or other dogs.

As 2024 comes to a close we feel so sad our Tejo is still with us and he would like nothing better than to start the new year with his own human or two to take care of.

Tejo is sterilised, microchipped and will receive a rabies vaccination.

I would observe Rocky at the canil, silent and stìll, watching, almost as if he was trying to make himself invisible. He’s only three years old and has spent most of his life at the canil.

Now look at him! A few weeks in foster care and he has transformed into an engaging, bright and happy dog. He just needed a chance to shine.

He still greets anyone showing him any kindness with lots of affection. Dexy is just one of many overlooked dogs at the canil who just need a chance to prove what wonderful dogs they are. Dexy wants that so badly.

Another great dog who has been at the canil for too long, seeks loving home.

Núbia is friendly, playful and would make a wonderful family dog who would enjoy walks and lots of stimulation, with some training. Equally, she would love cuddles and affection, as much as you can give!

Loquita is a stunning dog! She is a Castro Laboreiro mix. These dogs are renowned for their livestock guardian skills and calm nature and Loquita was extremely calm and great with the roaming cats and other dogs at the canil. They are quite a rare breed, originating from northern Portugal. Apart from their livestock guardian skills, they are also used to protect the women when the husbands are away working. She had lots of attention from the volunteers at the canil and she loved that interaction with people. She has been in the municipal canil in Tomar since March and is ready for adoption as she’s already sterilised, microchipped and has a rabies vaccination. Loquita needs a secure garden and she was also very good on a lead, so would be a pleasure to walk.

We are currently looking for adoption in Portugal only as she’s a big girl to transport and we feel that a rural home would be more suited to her needs.

Morena was brought up from her kennel to test another little dog with big dogs. She was chosen because of her calm and gentle nature. Both dogs passed the test. . Morena is great with all dogs of all sizes and loves people. She needs a good grooming to show her true beauty and we’ll get that done very soon.

Morena was brought in by the GNR. Her owner lives far away. She was accused of attacking a neighbour’s chickens. This doesn’t sit right with me. Often when livestock are attacked by a dog, a trap will be set and the dog who enters the trap, sometimes days later, is the dog who will get blamed. She may have been hungry and did this or she may not have carried out this attack but nevertheless we must state that she cannot be homed with chickens.

Morena is looking for a home where she won’t be left alone and an owner who will love and cherish her for the special dog that she is.

Come and meet her at the canil in Tomar and you will discover what a great dog Morena is.

She is microchipped, sterilised and will receive a rabies vaccination.

Pepe is a dog, full of fun and playful and he’s looking for a family who will provide him with the opportunity to thrive in a loving home.

He’s been at the canil for a couple of years and we won’t publicly shame him with photos taken in the past but we will agree that he needs to lose a kilo or two!

Pepe is sterilised, microchipped and has a rabies vaccination so he’s ready to go to his new home.

Pepe can be adopted in Portugal, the EU and the UK.

You are welcome to visit Pepe at the canil or to send us a message if you have any further questions.

Lola is a Rafeiro do Alentejo, possibly mixed.

These Portuguese mastiffs are used in a guardian role for livestock and are known to be loyal, brave and protectors of their family and property.

Lola is looking for an adopter with experience of working dogs who can provide her with secure outside space in a rural environment. She may choose to spend her time outside, with adequate shelter provided.

We estimated her weight at 40KG but she is underweight and should weigh more.

She loves her carer at the canil and will transfer her love to an adopter who can provide her with the environment that she needs to thrive.

Lola is looking for adoption in Portugal only and will be sterilised, microchipped and receive a rabies vaccination.

If you are considering adopting Lola, you are welcome to meet her at the canil. If you have any further questions please send us a message.
