I adopted a dog in Portugal (then this happened)

Adopting a dog in Lisbon has been one of the most life-changing experiences for me. In this video, I take you through my personal experience — from the moment I first met Mishka, to sponsoring her, adopting her and helping her integrate into princess city life 🐻

If you're thinking about adopting a dog in Portugal or just curious about what the process is like in the Lisbon region, here's what I cover:

- How I found the shelter, my original intentions (I wasn't looking to adopt)
- Why I eventually decided to adopt her (things I had to consider)
- The rules and regulations for dog owners in Portugal
- The adoption process (paperwork, vaccines, vetting, dog passport)
- Overcoming her fear of cars and food trauma.
- Travelling and Public Transport with a dog (in Lisbon)
- Road trips and crossing the border to Spain with a dog.
- The impact it's had on my business and personal growth.
- Important things to consider before deciding to adopt.

The two dog shelters in Lisbon
- União Zoófila (where I got Mishka)
- O Cantinho da Milu (where my friends adopted their dogs)
