Adopt MAFALDA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

MAFALDA, you still remember her. We heard about a pregnant dog begging for food in the parking lot of a burger place during a heat wave. When we went to get her, she was nowhere to be found, but thanks to some friends in the area who kept watch, we were able to rescue her before she gave birth. Already at the animal rescue association, she had 10 puppies that unfortunately died within a few days of being born due to a bacteria in the mother's milk. MAFALDA is a true survivor and very determined, she has been through a lot in her life and it's time to find her the family she deserves. She is a mix-Spanish Greyhound, a bit shy, but a walk and a few treats will have her belly-up for some tummy rubs and affection. She walks very well and calmly. She is very social, gets along well with children, and is cat-friendly. She is approximately 4 years old and will be delivered vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.

MAFALDA, os acordáis de ella. Nos enteramos de que había una perra a punto de parir, mendigando comida en el parking de un burguer, en plena ola de calor. Cuando fuimos a buscarla no aparecía por ningún lado, gracias a unas compis de la zona, que hicieron guardia, pudimos rescatarla antes de que diese a luz. Ya en la protectora tuvo 10 bebés que por desgracia fallecieron a los pocos días de nacer, debido a una bacteria en la leche de la madre. MAFALDA es toda una superviviente y muy luchadora, ha pasado mucho en su vida y ya es hora de encontrarle la familia que se merece. Es una mix-galgo, un pelín tímida, pero un paseo y unas cuantas chuches consiguen que se ponga panza arriba para recibir mimos en su barriga, le encantan. Pasea muy bien y tranquila. Es muy sociable, se lleva muy bien con los niños y es apta con gatos. Tiene 4 años aprox. y se entregará vacunada, castrada y con chip.

About MAFALDA

What life with MAFALDA looks like

MAFALDA is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Puntanimals in Spain.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 MAFALDA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MAFALDA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Puntanimals handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MAFALDA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MAFALDA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Puntanimals 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 MAFALDA 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 MAFALDA 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 Puntanimals early rather than rehoming privately; they know MAFALDA 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.
