Maradona

Pointer · Male · Senior · 9 years

Maradona was rescued along with a companion by Patitas Callejeras. We don't know anything about his life before the rescue, but given his health condition (bronchitis, thinness...) we doubt he was much loved. However, he is a very affectionate, noble, grateful... any adjective falls short. If you want a faithful and affectionate companion, Maradona is your dog. Contact:

Maradona fue rescatado junto a un compañero rescatado por Patitas Callejeras. No sabemos de su vida antes del rescate, pero dado su estado de salud (bronquitis, delgadez...) dudamos de que lo hayan querido mucho. Sin embargo, es un perro muy cariñoso, noble, agradecido... cualquier adjetivo se queda corto. Si quieres un compañero fiel y cariñoso, Maradona es tu perro. Contacto: 667849696

About Maradona

What life with Maradona looks like

Maradona is a senior pointer dog waiting at Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina in Spain.

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.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maradona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maradona?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maradona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maradona if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina whether they will for Maradona, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Maradona already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Maradona. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Maradona isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maradona 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.
