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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maradona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maradona?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina 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 Maradona 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 Maradona 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 Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
