Hera

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hera is a beautiful silver small-built girl, kind of a Staffy-mix, with her velvet grey hair and her shiny olive eyes. She has pointy ears that give her a sharp look! Hera is a spicy cracker with character, and we LOVE IT! She was found with a collar that had HERA written on it, so we're obviously guessing that was her name, but she did not have any microchip, and noone ever came looking for her. During her arrival time, everything went wrong, she could not be vaccinated as she was in heat, and then while waiting for a kennel to leave the quarantine arrival area, Parvovirus arrived to the part of the building, and she also got sick with Parvovirus, together with a lot of young dogs. Parvovirus hit her hard but she fought through it, because she is a touch cookie and a real survivor. During Parvovirus Hera got so skinny and lost all her weight, so once she recovered, we were feeding her back into shape. By now she is back to her beautiful figure, and spicy character, and she is ready to go to her forever home! Hera is looking for a home who adores her like the beauty queen she is, however she also wants a human who has the experience, patience and motivation to show her what are considered "good manners" in the human world, like walking calmer on the leash, not jumping up to energetically to every person she wants to kiss and say hello to. Hera is very clever girl, she learns very fast and loves to learn. Here, sit, stay and other little tricks are absolutely a piece of cake for her, so she would love to have a person on her side who will take the time for training classes with her, for obedience, agility, tricks training. She is food motivated, which makes training with her so easy. As soon as a car door is opened, Hera is the first one in and ready for an adventure! She is energetic on the leash at first of course, as she only gets one walk a week.... but after some minutes of sniffing joyfull and rolling in the leaves, she finds a good ryhtym on the leash and is a lovely hiking companion. Sometimes she pauses and listens to all the sounds of the forest, but does not franctically pull you around when noticing something moving in a bush. Hera is still waiting for her human to find her.... an active human, who loves to go on adventures together. Hera's shoulder height is about 50cm.

About Hera

What life with Hera looks like

Hera is a medium-sized adult staffordshire bull 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: Recovered from Parvovirus, needs training for leash manners and jumping behavior

🇪🇸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 Hera, answered.

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