Linda

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Linda’s human dad loved her and treated her wonderfully, but he passed away, and at just 12 years old, she found herself locked in a yard where she was fed only bread—this is why she’s so chubby. Right now, she’s staying in a home on a very temporary basis, and we urgently need to find her a foster home here in Madrid. She’s used to living in a family environment, and at her age, staying at a shelter wouldn’t be good for her at all. She needs to enjoy a new home with a new family. Adopt her! She’s a sweet, loving grandma. My/Ba

El papá humano de Linda la quería y la trataba genial pero él falleció y ella, con 12 añitos, se vio encerrada en un patio donde solo la alimentaban con pan, por eso esta tan gordita. Ahora se encuentra en una casa de manera muy provisional y necesitamos con urgencia traerla a una acogida aquí en Madrid, está acostumbrada a vivir en familia y el albergue, y a su edad, no sería nada bueno para ella, necesita disfrutar de un nuevo hogar un una nueva familia. ¡Adóptala! es una abuelita entrañable. Mi/Ba

About Linda

What life with Linda looks like

Linda is an 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Linda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Linda?: 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 Linda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Linda 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Linda 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 Linda 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 Linda 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.
