Barney & Bertie Pups

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Bertie & Barney were found all alone, without microchips, very sad. But as soon as they arrived to the shelter, and they had yummy food, their bellies were full and the bed was soft, they were happy and playful again. Our veterinary believes them to potentially be a mix of Podenco & Breton, so the breeds with mostly are used for chasing prey here by hunters in Spain. Barney is the ginger boy and Bertie is the one with orange & white fur. They are both energetic, lovely, kind boys who love to wrestle, sleep and cuddle. Growing up, they normally should be the smaller end of medium size, but we really cannot tell because we do not know anything about their parents. They surely will be very active dogs, so these are not the kind of dogs to adopt when a family is looking for a calm, cuddly sofa dog, to keep their children company. They will for sure make excellent family dogs, but that won't be sufficient for active breeds - long walks, running in the nature (with GPS Tracker and long leash), dog school, social group walks - all of this should be in the programme for families who are adopting either Bertie of Barney. The boys are available for individual adoptions, and ideally their new homes would already have an adult dog waiting for them, to help them continue growing into well socialised adults. Should either of them be an only dog of a family, then regular contact with other sociable dogs is a necessity. Exterior space in a home is also desired, to satisfy the need for active movement.

About Barney & Bertie Pups

What life with Barney & Bertie Pups looks like

Barney & Bertie Pups is a medium-sized puppy podenco dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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 Barney & Bertie Pups, answered.

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