Caramelo

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Caramelo is a Podenco coming from a home, but he was given away by his humans, reportedly due to difficulties finding a place to live with a dog. He arrived to the shelter in good shape, well-eaten, good fur - so at least we are happy for that, as most Podencos arrive to us in poor conditions. The poor boy was so stressed and tense when he first arrived, and we think he most likely was an only dog of the home - Podencos usually are social dogs and mostly live best in groups. Caramelo was so happy to meet other Podencos, and he now lives together with another young Podenco boy and a female as well. They run and play so nicely together, and especially for that reason, we would love to find a home for Caramelo, where he would have 1 or more dog friends already waiting for him, to play and run together. He could potentially also be an only dog of a home, strictly in case very regular contact with other dogs is provided to him, to satisfy his social and emotional needs for canine companionship. We do not yet know how Caramelo would feel in a busier environment, this will be tested out over time, at the moment he is looking for a home close to the nature, and quite surely with a secure outdoors space. Caramelo is a really cool guy - he just needs a moment to feel comfortable with where he is and who is around him, and then he becomes playful and affectionate. He also walks very well on the leash. One special things about Caramelo is his curled up pig tail! Usually Podencos do not have a curled tail, so he definitely stands out among his friends! His shoulder height is 51cm. As he is already coming from a home, then we assume he is house-clean and will most likely quickly settle in to a new home as well.

About Caramelo

What life with Caramelo looks like

Caramelo is a medium-sized puppy/kitten 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Caramelo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Caramelo?
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 Caramelo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Caramelo 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 Caramelo 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 Caramelo 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 Caramelo 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.
