Rocky Balboa

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Rocky Balboa, es un perrito bueno, que necesita que le presten un poco de atención, pero su familia nos dice que no puede atenderlo bien, no tienen tiempo de sacarlo a pasear, a andar como sería idóneo, se pasa encerrado entre cuatro paredes, le hace falta un poco de actividad, buena alimentación, para perder un poco del peso que le sobra a su pequeño cuerpo. Se lleva bien con otros perritos, con niños y con todos los humanos. Necesita urgentemente cambiar de situación, encontrar un nuevo hogar, otra familia. Mi/To?

About Rocky Balboa

What life with Rocky Balboa looks like

Rocky Balboa is a small 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 Rocky Balboa, answered.

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