Kenia

Spanish Mastiff · Unknown

Note: Although she is currently up for adoption, her physical and/or mental condition requires that she 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 help. Kenia is a beautiful Mastiff Spanish mix puppy who was wandering on a road until one of our volunteers managed to rescue her. She is shy with strangers but, if you earn her trust, she will make a wonderful companion because she is very affectionate. She gets along well with people and is learning to interact with her peers, as she was always alone until her rescue and had to fend for herself. Perhaps she had a bad experience with another dog, we don't know... But now she is realizing how positive it is to live in a home with people and animals.

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. Kenia es una preciosa perrita, cruce de mastín español, que estaba vagando por una carretera hasta que una de nuestras voluntarias consiguió rescatarla. Es tímida cuando no conoce, pero si te ganas su confianza tendrás una gran compañera porque es muy cariñosa. Se lleva muy bien con las personas y con sus congéneres está aprendiendo a relacionarse ya que, hasta su rescate, siempre ha estado sola y se las tuvo que apañar por sí misma, tal vez tuvo alguna mala experiencia con otro/s perro/s, no sabemos... Pero ahora se va dando cuenta de lo positivo que es vivir en un hogar con personas y animales. MI/M

About Kenia

What life with Kenia looks like

Kenia is a medium-sized adult spanish mastiff 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 Kenia, answered.

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