How do I contact the shelter about Caleb?

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

Can I adopt Caleb 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 Caleb 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 Caleb 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 Caleb 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.

Caleb

Male · Young · 3 years

Caleb was found together with a mastin-type female and several young siblings, so we're assuming that the mother is the sweet Mastin girl, Caleb the father and the siblings their puppies, one of them Cosmo who is also in the shelter. Caleb is a beautiful mixed breed boy, with one blue eye, one brown eye and a beautiful white-grey coat. Caleb is coming from a bad situation, of being chained up in an abandoned backyard, so life in the shelter is a tiny bit better than his past, but far from what he really needs - a dog-experienced human, with who he can leave confinement behind him, and start a fresh new life. Regardless of his past, Caleb is such a cheerful boy, full of sunshine and happy vibes! He sits for treats like a really good boy, walks nicely by your side, and runs you over with cuddles as soon as you open your arms. Caleb walks well on the leash now, even though in the beginning he was pulling, most likely due to never having walked on a leash properly before, and of course from having all the energy and nowhere to put it. Caleb really loves to be around humans, and to be in physical contact! He still needs to learn some manners and boundaries, like for example when his kisses are a bit too much, or that he should not put up his paws for cuddles at every person he meets. However, Caleb is very food-motivated and smart, so he learns super quickly, and he will be an A+ student in no time! At the moment Caleb is still at times reactive to other dogs, so the shelter environment is very stressful and triggering for him. He is looking for an understanding family, a human that will accept that he can be reactive towards selected other dogs, like dominant males, who will offer him the training and guidance he needs, to become more relaxed in the vicinity of dogs he does not like. In Spain, Caleb could potentially live together with a social female or submissive male, on the condition that the meetings are carried out by the shelter team. For international adoptions, Caleb is at the moment looking for a home as a single dog, in an easygoing, calm neighborhood which is not crowded with other dogs. His shoulder height is 58cm.

About Caleb

What life with Caleb looks like

Caleb is a medium-sized young adult 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.

Note from the shelter: Reactive to dominant male dogs, needs experienced handler for dog socialization training

🇪🇸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.
