Adopt Gala

Female · Adult · 4 years

Gala is a wonderful Mastin-Mix girl, who had arrived to the shelter already a few times before, and then finally given away by the human. Gala is about 4 years old and has a wonderful character. In the first days in the shelter, she was a bit shy and needed time to get used to a new volunteers presence, but by now she has opened up so well and is so cheerful to see all humans, to go for a walk. She knows that a human coming for her now means love, cuddles, walks, snacks and time together - and she loves it! She is very social with humans, and is kind with everyone she meets. When she is especially happy to see you, then she does a little wiggly dance and gives you a few hops. Even though the shelter is very stressful, Gala is a great companion outside. She walks perfectly on the leash and doesn’t pull very much. During a trip to the forest, she showed her adventurous side, she loves to explore the nature! She calmly walked past joggers, cyclists and children. She is curious and interested. She loves to sniff a lot and explore her surroundings. When she feels safe, she happily runs around with her person. She also loves to splash in the water! Gala is also great with other dogs. She is very respectful and communicates perfectly with them. When she meets other dogs on the leash, she stays relaxed and curious. She doesn’t bark, she just sniffs with interest in their direction and shows that she is friendly. Gala attended our Annual Charity Walk and behaved so well around all the many humans and dogs. Her shoulder height is approximately 65cm.

About Gala

What life with Gala looks like

Gala is a large adult dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gala, answered.

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