How do I contact the shelter about Hiena?

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

Can I adopt Hiena 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 Hiena 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 Hiena 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 Hiena and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Hiena

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Senior · 9 years

Hiena was found wandering the streets alone in an area far away, and as she was first caught, she was brought to perrera El Paraiso... She had a microchip so the owner was contacted, but he did not want Hiena anymore and signed her over to the shelter. Hiena arrived to us very stressed, confused and on top of everything - in heat. Hiena is a human-loving compact power package, who is always excited to go for a walk with you. After an active adventure, she loves to snuggle with volunteers, climb on their laps, kiss their faces, and receive butt rubs. Our volunteers love Hiena, she is so affectionate towards humans, so much love to give. Hiena jumps into the car easily and quickly, at first we recommend her to travel in a box, because she is so excited to go out, but also a good chewing snack to keep her busy will be helpful. As she is coming from a home, even though not from a good home, she still most probably knows daily human things like cars and living in a house environment. Hiena is very ready to go to her forever home, and her hear dream of a family would be active humans who like to go for walks and hikes in the nature or also on town streets, who love to take Hiena with them. Ideally her family would have previous experience, and either the knowledge of reading a dog's body language in canine socialisations, or the motivation to enroll in dog training/group training sessions. Hiena does not enjoy being approached by every dog on the street, and she is hoping that her human will advocate her wish for more personal space on walks and dog meetings. During her first days and weeks, she was quite reactive towards other dogs, firstly from the stress, but also from being in heat. Now she walks past most dogs calmly, being busy sniffing the grass, and sometimes she says hi to friendly non-threatening males. Hiena just does not like other dominant dogs with a threatening approach, she is a boss lady herself. As staffy-types of dogs usually are, she has the energy of a small bulldozer, sometimes jumping around like a wrecking ball, so regarding children in a home, they should be above 12 years old. Hiena is a small girl, with just 49cm shoulder height.

About Hiena

What life with Hiena looks like

Hiena is a medium-sized senior staffordshire bull terrier 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.

Note from the shelter: Selective with other dogs, needs space and advocacy from owner during walks

🇪🇸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.
