Maxi Junior

Male · Young · 1 year

Maxi Junior is waiting for visits at Sonrisa Peluda small shelter, and to get to know him in her natural environment, we would recommend to meet him at the shelter, with his caretaker! He is a beautiful mixed breed young boy, potentially a mix of perhaps Spanish Waterdog, maybe some Lurcher or Berger de Picardie or Bobtail combined together - either way, his DNA test should be interesting! He weighs about 20kg and he is a bundle of energy, like a healthy adolescent normally is, but he is not overwhelming at all - Maxi brings a good balanced energy with him, good mood vibes. He is a social and affectionate boy, and he really loves to be around humans. If you are looking for a best friend that will wiggle his butt the moment you open your eyes in the morning, then Maxi Junior is your guy! During his day out on the beach, he wanted to say hi to every person who passed, like every person alive was made to give him attention! So he would make a good support for a human who would like to meet new people, because Maxi Junior will break the ice very quickly! We have tears in our eyes what a lively boy he is, especially considering how the arrived to the shelter......in a bad condition, starved and neglected. That cause him to have delicate skin, so now he needs to have good nutrition and nourishing baths, which he cannot get at the shelter... During his day out, he was walking very nicely on the leash, even though all the surroundings were new for him, so he stayed nicely by the human. When he sees other humans or other dogs, he politely would like to greet everyone, and his bodylanguage is so clearly friendly, combined with his sweet furry face, that noone will be afraid of Maxi Junior. The only thing that at the moment will stop his tail from wagging and make him a bit insecure, is loud and heavy traffic. Even though his confidence will increase with a bit of exercise and experience, we are still looking for a home for this furry panda in a quiet neighborhood, in a small town, village, countryside, and not in the city. He would love to join a home with already a friendly, social dog waiting for him, but in case of a slow lifestyle, with easygoing daily routines and regular contact with canines, he could also be an only dog of a family. Maxi Junior could well join a household of older, educated, calm children who know to respect the dog's needs and boundaries. Small, uncontrollable, hectic children would not be good for his timidness for loud intrusive sounds. He does not have a problem with joggers or bicycles passing him, also children passing by is very fine for him. In the shelter he lives together with 20 different dogs. We kindly ask potential adopters to keep in mind, that he is in the age of "teenage years", meaning that he is active mentally and also physically, ready to learn and craving activity and a purpose in life. For Maxi Junior we are looking for a patient and active family, who will appreciate that he will need to learn all new activities like going to cafeterias, driving in a car etc - he just had not had these experiences before, and it might be that he is directly fine at the first try, but it might also be that he needs a little time to settle into new situations. Maxi Junior is waiting to meet you at Sonrisa Peluda in Guaro, and appointments can be made through Triple A team. Maxi Junior shoulder height is approximately 57cm.

About Maxi Junior

What life with Maxi Junior looks like

Maxi Junior is a medium-sized young adult 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: Delicate skin requiring good nutrition and nourishing baths due to previous neglect

🇪🇸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 Maxi Junior, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maxi Junior?
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 Maxi Junior on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maxi Junior 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 Maxi Junior 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 Maxi Junior 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 Maxi Junior 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.
