How do I contact the shelter about El?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. El Refugio Escuela Marlene handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw El on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt El if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — El Refugio Escuela Marlene 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 El 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 El 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 El Refugio Escuela Marlene early rather than rehoming privately; they know El 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 (ES). 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.

Adopt El

Podenco · Male · Young · 3 years

Nació El on January 15, 2023. LÓPEZ was picked up along with his mom BRASIL and his sister MIRANDA. This family was in a state of abandonment, hungry, and wandering through an urbanization. Thankfully, they are now part of the family at our shelter, where we will provide all the necessary care for them to grow healthy and happy until they find the family that falls in love with them. LÓPEZ was wandering around as a small puppy along with his mom BRASIL (already adopted) and his sister MIRANDA (already adopted) in a rural urbanization. We had been spotting them for some time and trying to pick them up, but due to their fear, it was very difficult. Eventually, a person managed to get them, and they entered our animal shelter. Here, El has spent time, and LÓPEZ has grown into a young and elegant Podenco hound. He still waits alongside Brazil, unnoticed… LÓPEZ is a young Podenco hound from Ibiza, of medium size, with a beautiful and elegant brown coat. He has a very noble and good nature. He is also affectionate and trusting, not hesitating to approach you to play. He is very sociable and noble with other dogs, adores playing and running with them, and gets along well with everyone. After some time in adoption, LÓPEZ had to be put back up for adoption because HE IS NOT SUITABLE with children. His family has tried everything, including a dog trainer, but it is not possible for LÓPEZ to coexist with children. Now, he is looking for a family without children that matches his personality. For the rest, LÓPEZ is obedient and intelligent, learns quickly, and is sociable with other dogs. To prevent him from returning to the animal shelter and to avoid more changes and stress, LÓPEZ has been taken to a residence where it costs us 200€ per month to keep him until he finds a permanent home. For this, we have set up a TEAMING group for anyone who wants to contribute to his expenses; any help at 1€ per month would be greatly appreciated. ⏬ LÓPEZ is in perfect health. He is provided with a microchip, a passport, up-to-date vaccinations, and a negative test for Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Heartworm, and Leishmaniasis. Additionally, he is neutered. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Nació el 15 de Enero de 2023. LÓPEZ fue recogido junto a su mamá BRASIL y su hermana MIRANDA. Esta familia se encontraba en estado de abandono, hambrientos y deambulando por una urbanización. Por suerte ahora forman parte de la familia del refugio donde les vamos a proporcionar todos los cuidados necesarios para que puedan crecer sanos y felices hasta que llegue la familia que se enamore de ellos. LÓPEZ se encontraba vagabundeando cuando era un pequeño cachorrito junto a su mamá BRASIL (ya adoptada) y su hermana MIRANDA (ya adoptada) por una urbanización de campo, llevábamos tiempo avistándolos e intentando poder recogerlos pero, debido al miedo que tenían, nos era muy difícil. Una persona, finalmente, consiguió cogerlos y entraron en nuestro refugio. Aquí ha pasado el tiempo y López ha ido creciendo, ya es un joven y elegante podenco, y sigue esperando junto a Brasil, sin que nadie se fije en ellos… LÓPEZ es un joven de Podenco Ibicenco, de tamaño mediano, de color marrón precioso y elegante. Tiene un carácter muy noble y bueno. Además es cariñoso y confiado, no se lo piensa a la hora de acercarse a ti para jugar contigo. Es muy sociable y noble con otros perros, adora jugar y correr junto a ellos, se lleva estupendamente con todos. Después de un tiempo adoptado, López ha tenido que ser puesto de nuevo en adopción, pues NO ES APTO con niños. Su familia lo ha intentado todo, con adiestrador pero no es posible la convivencia de López con niños. Ahora vuelve a buscar familia, sin niños, que encaje con su forma de ser. Por el resto es un perro que es obediente e inteligente, aprende muy rápido y es sociable con otros perros. Para que no vuelva al refugio y no someterle a más cambios y estrés López ha sido llevado a una residencia donde nos cuesta 200€ al mes poder mantenerlo allí hasta que encuentre un hogar definitivo, para ello hemos hecho un grupo TEAMING para todo aquel que quiera colaborar con sus gastos ¡sería una gran ayuda por 1€ al mes! ⏬ LÓPEZ está totalmente sano. Se entrega con chip, pasaporte, vacunas al día, test de enfermedades negativo de Anaplasma, Erliquia, Filaria y Leishmaniosis. Además, se entrega esterilizado.

About El

What life with El looks like

El is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at El Refugio Escuela Marlene in Seville.

An young 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.
