How do I contact the shelter about Lucky?

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

Can I adopt Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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.

Lucky

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Lucky's name is quite ironic, as she has been anything but lucky in her young life..... Once adopted from the campo by an elderly woman who did not have the time nor will to take care of Lucky - for the supposed purpose of the entertainment of the grandchild during the visits. When Lucky then became too much of a nuisance, she was handed over to a homeless person, again without means to properly take care of this young girl. Passed around, Lucky has become a bit nervous when meeting new people at first, but we can see that she very quickly bonds with a person who is taking care of her. At the moment she is staying in a family home with a mother and a daughter, and is well taken care of. Lucky loves the family's child and they go walking well together. Unfortunately we do not yet know much about Lucky's experiences with other dogs, or how she would behave in a city environment, what makes her scared, what makes her happy - but we do know that the next home Lucky goes to, must be her forever home. Therefore we are now looking for an experienced and patient home to restart Lucky's life, give her the puppy time and teenage growing period that she has been missing out on. Lucky is very clever and learns quickly, she is also (delicious) food motivated, so training with her is pleasant and easy. Having been passed around countless of times, she does get focused on "her human" as the one constant thing in her life, so we recommend her future family to start early on with confidence and independence training, in order not to develop separation anxiety. As she is currently living with an approximate 10-year old child very nicely, we can imagine she could well join a family with a calm, educated child. At the same time, the parents must be experienced, and aware of the time and calmness it will take, to receive a dog into their family that has been abandoned and thrown around many times - slow, steady routines, repeating activities, reassurance from familiar things will be the key for Lucky to start her life fresh. Her shoulder height is 58cm and we are currently testing her for Mediterranean diseases.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires confidence and independence training to prevent separation anxiety. Needs slow, steady routines due to abandonment history.

🇪🇸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.
