How do I contact the shelter about Drago?

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

Can I adopt Drago 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 Drago 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 Drago 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 Drago 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.

Drago

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Adult · 4 years

Is he a Schnauzer? Is he an Amstaff? He’s a Schnaustaff! Our unique long-haired Amstaff boy, with majestic moustache, making sure you’ll give Drago a second look! Even he’s toes have long hairs! This is not Drago’s first time in the shelter, he has already been with us once due to the carelessness of the family, but the last time they still came to pick him up. This time not anymore and Drago was left absolutely heartbroken in the shelter, from a home (not a good one, but still) to a lonely kennel, Drago shut down from the shock. After starting to get used to his new reality, Drago had no choice but to come out of his shell and enjoy the little that he has left to enjoy - the attention of te caretakers, the walks with the volunteers, the one run in the park a day. It seems that something traumatizing has happened with Drago involving a collar - we do not know what has been done or what has happened but he is terrified of collars. He lets you put on a harness so calmly, so quietly, a very polite boy, but if you pull out a collar, he wants to run or his life. This is very sad, but okey, he will be perfectly fine with a good harness as well! Drago walks very well on the leash especially in an environment that he is familiar with, and stays by your side like a good boy. In a new stressy situation, like suddenly going from the shelter to the town with strangers, he can pull a bit, from the stress of unknown. He jumps very nicely into the car and in the town he does not react to other people, cars, children but stays seemingly neutral about such stressors. Well, he is coming from a stressy home enviroment with many family members and a loud surrounding, so he must be used to this. On his walks, Drago does not react to most dogs and just walks by calmly, he can bark at some more reactive or dominant dogs, but at the same time, he also goes walking with another social male dog. Drago loves to snack, he will come to you, sit, stand, give paw and bark for a treat. Drago will politely accompany you to a cafeteria without demanding anything from you, unless you clearly offer something to him. While he usually walks calmly and quietly, maybe also just because he is sad, then when he realises that you love him and are there to take care of him, he brightens up and starts to celebrate with joyful sprints and offering his behind for you to scratch! For Drago we are looking for a stable, calm home with set daily routines and activities all together, so he would not have to experience chaos and drama in his life again. A home with eduated children could be fine, as he is experienced with children already, and Drago would also be happy with different scenarios like living in an apartment or a house, of course like for most dogs, a garden would be heavenly. Drago LOVES to cool his body in a pool, and rub himself on the edge of the doggie pool, we verymuch wish for him a home with a little pool in the backyard or maybe a possibiity to go swimming in a lake, river or seaside…. His shoulder height is 58cm.

About Drago

What life with Drago looks like

Drago is a medium-sized adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

An 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: Terrified of collars due to past trauma, requires harness only

🇪🇸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.
