MARTE

Podenco · Male · Young · 3 years

This adorable Podenco hound was abandoned along with his 5 siblings in a small ravine. They arrived as very tiny pups at the shelter but have since turned into perfect rascals. However, MARTE isn't having much luck and, while being brash with his buddies at the shelter, broke a leg. The result has been: six operations, a skin graft, another graft of hip bone, and almost three months in total. His leg has turned a bit crooked but is functional. Now, our favorite "descerebrao" (foolish) needs a home where he can finally enjoy life, just like his brothers have been doing for some time. Can you give him a home???)

Este precioso podenco fue abandonado junto a sus 5 hermanos en un pequeño barranco. Llegaron muy bebes a la prote pero ya se han convertido en unos perfectos gamberrillos. Sin embargo, Marte no tiene muy buena suerte y haciendo el bruto con sus compis en la prote se rompió una patita. El resultado ha sido: 6 operaciones, un injerto de piel, otro injerto de hueso de la cadera y casi tres meses ingresado en total. Su patita ha quedado torcita pero es funcional. Ahora, nuestro «descerebrao» favorito necesita una hogar donde por fin disfrutar de la vida al igual que están haciendo todos sus hermanos desde hace tiempo. Se la puedes dar tú???

About MARTE

What life with MARTE looks like

MARTE is a small young adult podenco dog waiting at Asociación Animalejos in Spain.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting MARTE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MARTE?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Asociación Animalejos handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MARTE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MARTE if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Asociación Animalejos 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 MARTE 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 MARTE 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 Asociación Animalejos early rather than rehoming privately; they know MARTE 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.
