Golfito

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Golfito is deaf, but that doesn't stop him—thanks to a few little tricks—from being an obedient dog with normal reactions and a happy disposition. As a young pup, he lived with a family, but as soon as they decided he was too old, they took him to a garden where they built a sort of enclosure with a concrete hut and left him there to fend for himself... He needs a home where he can enjoy life just as he deserves. My/M

Golfito es sordo pero eso no le impide, con pequeños trucos, ser un perro obediente, con reacciones normales y feliz. De jovencito ha vivido con una familia, pero en cuanto creyeron que ya era mayor, le han llevado a un huerto donde han montado una especie de jaula con una caseta de hormigón y allí le han metido para que sobreviva solo... Necesita un hogar donde disfrutar de la vida tal y como se merece. Mi/M

About Golfito

What life with Golfito looks like

Golfito 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 Golfito, answered.

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