How do I contact the shelter about Latina?

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

Can I adopt Latina 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 Latina 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 Latina 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 Latina 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.

Latina

Podenco · Female · Adult · 6 years

Latina, a beautiful Podenco lady, was found all alone without a microchip in Hacienda Las Chapas, and judging by her tired look and stretched breasts, she has had some hardship behind her.... Latina has a beautiful chocolate brown fur, and even though her face is a bit white & grey already, the veterinary does not think her to be quite old yet. In the shelter environment, when going out from the kennel for walks, she is stressed and barks a lot, but away from the shelter she is actually really calm and quiet... Due to this, it might be difficult for Latina to find a home here locally when people come to visit her in the shelter, because they might see her being nervous and stressed, and not give her a chance even.... Latina has been out for the day with volunteers, and she visited the beach and the town. She walks very nicely on the leash, is not afraid of other dogs, or bicycles, cars or humans - very calmly just keeps walking and enjoying the scenery. Only when it gets very loud directly next to her, like a very loud rubbish truck passing by too close, then she gets scared. In general, Latina is a bit of an insecure dog, and is looking for a confident human, who will take care of her so she does not need to worry about anything anymore, and can just enjoy being a lovely dog. Latina is also not afraid of children, just insecure in herself or the situation, so potentially she could live in a home with children, whose energy is not too overwhelming. In the shelter, Latina is living together with different other dogs, and it would be lovely for her to move into a home that already has one or more dogs present. A calm, balanced and confident second dog would be ideal for her, however we think she could potentially also do well as a single dog in a calm home. At the moment she is not enjoying getting into a car yet, which probably is related also to lac of experience, but in her new home, would be good if in the beginning at least, she would not be required to constantly travel in the car. Repetitive simple daily routines will allow any dog to arrive and relax in their new homes faster, especially insecure or nervous dogs. Once Latina feels safe & secure in her surroundings, we believe that her confidence will quickly grow and she will bloom into a cheerful, playful, and loving companion. Her shoulder height is approximately 49cm.

About Latina

What life with Latina looks like

Latina is a medium-sized adult podenco 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.

🇪🇸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.
