Croissant/Sam

German Shepherd · Unknown

Note: Although he is currently up for adoption, his physical and/or mental condition requires that he remain in foster care indefinitely, and any associated costs must be borne by the animal rescue association. Therefore, the only options are sponsorship or making nominal donations, if desired. Thank you for your invaluable assistance. Croissant, a German Shepherd mix, was adopted two years ago. His mother suffers from an illness that prevents her from providing the life and walks he has had until now, so he is seeking a new family that can continue to provide everything he needs.

Nota Informativa: Aunque se encuentra en adopción, su estado físico y/o mental, nos obliga a que permanezca en su casa de acogida, albergue o guardería indefinidamente y esto supone que cualquier gasto lo debe asumir la protectora, ante lo cual SOLO es posible su apadrinamiento o hacer donativos nominales, si así se desea. Gracias por su inestimable ayuda. Croissant, cruce de Pastor Alemán, fue adoptado hace dos añitos, su mamá padece una enfermedad que le impide darle la vida y paseos que ha tenido hasta ahora por lo que está buscando una nueva familia que le siga dando todo lo que necesita.

About Croissant/Sam

What life with Croissant/Sam looks like

Croissant/Sam is a adult german shepherd 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 Croissant/Sam, answered.

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