Adopt Cali

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Cali was rescued in very poor condition near a highway, and since then has lived in a home where she has been able to recover and thrive. She is a very affectionate dog, sensitive and loves being pampered and doing tricks. At home, she doesn't break things and doesn't have accidents. She responds well to being called, and is very attached to her reference people. Currently, she cohabits with two other dogs. When left alone, she doesn't break or destroy things. We are looking for a quiet home for her. She would fit better in a calm environment with little traffic, and preferably as the only dog or with a secure and balanced dog. She would not be suitable for a home with many dogs, or with many hours of loneliness. She needs a patient, affectionate family aware that she is a very special, loving dog who learns VERY quickly and has a lot of potential.

Cali fue rescatada en muy mal estado cerca de una carretera, y desde entonces ha vivido en un hogar donde ha podido recuperarse y salir adelante. Es una perra muy cariñosa, sensible a la que le encantan los mimos y hacer truquitos. En casa no rompe cosas y no se hace pis, ni caca. Responde bien a la llamada, es una perra muy apegada a sus personas de referencia. Actualmente convive con otros dos perros. Cuando se queda sola no rompe ni destroza cosas. Buscamos para ella un hogar tranquilo. Encajaría mejor en un entorno calmado sin demasiado trasiego, y preferiblemente como perra única o con un perro seguro y equilibrado. No sería adecuada para una casa con muchos perros, con muchas horas de soledad. Necesita una familia paciente, cariñosa y consciente de que una perra muy especial, amorosa, que aprende MUY rápido y con mucho potencial. Mi/M

About Cali

What life with Cali looks like

Cali is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at NuevaVida Adopciones Madrid in Madrid.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cali, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cali?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. NuevaVida Adopciones Madrid handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cali on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cali if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — NuevaVida Adopciones Madrid 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Cali 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 Cali 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 NuevaVida Adopciones Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cali 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 (ES). 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.
