Roco, mi dulce abuelito

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Roco is an old dog, likely from a hunting background. We were alerted to see if we could take him in because a dog of his age in one of the worst kennels in Spain wouldn't last long. Fortunately, a volunteer offered to take him in. He has been examined and is doing well for his age. He had a dental cleaning so he can eat better. In the preoperative, a x-ray was taken and oh surprise! This old dog has dozens of BULLETS in his body. A forever home is being sought where he can spend his last years happily.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roco, mi dulce abuelito, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roco, mi dulce abuelito?: 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 Roco, mi dulce abuelito on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roco, mi dulce abuelito 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 Roco, mi dulce abuelito 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 Roco, mi dulce abuelito 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 Roco, mi dulce abuelito 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.
