Adopt Arun

Podenco · Male · Young · 3 years

Arun is a stunningly beautiful Podenco Ibicenco who arrived to us on the verge of starvation, without a microchip, towards the end of the horrible hunting season in Spain. His name means "dawn" and "sun", and we think this reflects him perfectly. At the moment, Arun has a very quiet and still nature, he does not bark, jump, rush, he moves slowly and cautiously. Even though he is fearful of situations, he is actually not afraid of people as such - when he already knows a volunteers, he enjoys to be touched and caressed, it is just fast, hectic movements that scare him off. Arun accompanies the people he trusts very nicely on the leash, and now that he has joined a group of other dogs, he is coming out of his shell quicker. He likes to be around other dogs, that is the first time we saw him running and wagging his tail, when he was together with a group of Podenco, Mastin & Collie girls, who he has now moved in with. For Arun we are looking for a home near the nature, not in the city, with at least one dog already in the family. We are guessing that he has never been in a traditional home before, and most likely he would appreciate a home with some safe exterior space, not entirely restricted to living indoors in an apartment. Arun's shoulder height is about 63-65cm.

About Arun

What life with Arun looks like

Arun is a large young adult podenco dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires rural home with outdoor space and existing dog companion. Fearful of fast movements, needs patient introduction to home life.

🇪🇸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 Arun, answered.

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