How do I contact the shelter about Black?

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 Black on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Black 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 Black 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 Black 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 Black 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.

Black

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

Black and Bella are black labradors, brother and sister, who were left behind by their human after he left the country. They were both soon adopted by a couple who were at the time expanding their family with small newcomers. Black & Bella have always been together, however as sometimes does happen in double-sibling adoptions as well as in general multi-dog households, tensions grew between the dogs as the family life developed. To avoid any more serious consequences to one of the dogs during discussions between the dogs, the family made the responsible decision of reaching out to the shelter, and to give Black back for adoption. Black is a dog that has been growing up in a family environment and he is lovely with children. He can get a bit protective about his humans, so even though he is a wonderful Labrador boy, dog experience still is needed in the family. Black, like most Labradors, absolutely loves water and would be so grateful to live in a home with frequent access to a pool or seaside. Now Black is looking for a home as an only dog, and even though he has accompanied children from pregnancy onwards, then now in case of children in his new home, we would prefer a home with older, calm and responsible children, to help Black settle into a new life and new family. He would also be absolutely fine to be the right-wing man of a one-person household. Black walks nicely on the leash, and is currently in the shelter, walking with different volunteers. Black is actually smaller than you think when looking at the photos and videos, he is really chunky, but quite low in height. He is very affectionate and calm, a little bit shy at first when he doesn't know you yet. As he is coming from a home, it would be great to find his forever home before the shelter sadness sets in. He is house-trained. With 2 homes behind him already, we are now looking for a family that will indeed be his forever family for the rest of his life. His shoulder height is approximately 53cm.

About Black

What life with Black looks like

Black is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever 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. 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.
