Drogo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Drogo's arrival to the shelter is a sad story... He was found by a woman in the La Cascada forest park area, wandering by himself, looking tired and confused. The woman drove him to the shelter, and even though we found a microchip, we were not directly very happy to find a microchip, due to the physical condition Drogo was in - he was very skinny, his fur was in poor condition, his face looked sunken in, and he did not want to eat anything, so we were concerned. Once we reached the owner, what we had feared became true - he apparently had no time for his dog and had tried to give him away already several time, but "noone wanted to take Drogo". Poor poor boy, we hope very much that he doesn't know what his humans have said about him..... It turned out that he is positive on Leishmania and directly started his treatment. Drogo is looking and feeling so much better now! He has gained perfect weight, his fur is shiny and soft, his face has changed, his eyes are shining more, and he is full of love and life. Drogo is a happy boy who loves to go running in the dog parks, sniff all the bushes and sit like a good boy for snacks! Drogo is not overwhelming with energy, he does not push you over or follow you around all the time. He has his own independence, and even though he loves to be around volunteers, to be touched and cared for, he is also very able to go sniffing and adventuring by himself - we guess he had to spend a lot of time by himself all his life, so.... Drogo has a female friend in the shelter, Julia, with who they go walking and running together, share the pool, share snacks and volunteers attention. Julia sometimes gets a bit wildly playful for him, and that scares off Drogo, but he would do very well in a home with a calm female companion. Drogo could also be a single dog of a home, and if his home would have exterior space, then the yard would have to be securely fenced in, otherwise Drogo would probably go for daytrips by himself - we are guessing that he was not really taken for walks, and probably had to entertain himself. His shoulder height 52cm, and he is like a Tackel sausage dog, but in an enlarged version. Drogo has some pain in his hips, of course, he is already an older boy, coming from poor conditions - he is currently receiving canine massage and is soon going to a traumatologist appointment for an xray, so we know whether he has osteoarthritis or any other issues that we can support him with.

About Drogo

What life with Drogo looks like

Drogo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Drogo, answered.

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