Adopt Chely/Lily

Brittany Spaniel · Unknown

We present CHELY, a beautiful Brittany mix who was in trouble. We thought she just had a simple "heart murmur," but the surprise was that she suffers from a serious congenital condition called congenital arteriovenous shunt, meaning that oxygen-poor venous blood mixes with oxygen-rich arterial blood, and without oxygen, Chely cannot survive. Fortunately, with the help of many of you, we were able to operate on her, where she nearly died, but she pulled through. We had to operate on her again, and here she is, fighting for her life, and now she is looking for a home where she can be happy.

Os presentamos a CHELY es una preciosa cruce bretón que estaba en apuros. Creíamos que tenia un simple “soplo en el corazón” y la sorpresa ha sido que padece un grave problema coronario denominado shunt arteriovenoso congénito, es decir, la sangre venosa(que no transporta oxigeno)se mezcla con la sangre arterial(que si transporta oxigeno) y ante la falta de oxigeno Chely no puede sobrevivir. Por suerte, con ayuda de muchos de vosotros conseguimos operarla, donde casi fallece, pero salió adelante, tuvimos que volver a operarla y aquí sigue, luchando por su vida y ahora está buscando un hogar donde ser feliz.

About Chely/Lily

What life with Chely/Lily looks like

Chely/Lily is a medium-sized adult brittany spaniel 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 Chely/Lily, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chely/Lily?
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 Chely/Lily on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chely/Lily 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 Chely/Lily 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 Chely/Lily 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 Chely/Lily 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.
