How do I contact the shelter about Moana?

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

Can I adopt Moana 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 Moana 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 Moana 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 Moana 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.

Adopt Moana

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Moana was found curled up skinny, wet and cold, as she was looking shelter and help in a backyard of a person, on the Ojen road. She hid herself in a corner, and luckily did not go anywhere anymore until our rescue team arrived. She had just survived the days of heavy storm on the coast, and even though she was scared and shut down at first, she seemed to be happy to be found, falling asleep in her blankets and eating with good appetite. After the initial recovery period, she joined a group of female dogs, including Podencos, and as soon as she could join other dogs, her character directly started to show! Moana is the most playful, cheerful, active Podenco girl, full of life and joy! She loves to run in the dog park, and play with volunteers. When you scratch her back, she gets so excited, throws herself on the floor and invites to to wrestle! It looks however that these are her first times playing with a human, which makes sense as Podencos are usually arriving to us after surviving abuse in the hunting world. So she needs some guidance on how to play with humans, and not to nibble on the volunteers bodies with her teeth, like she would do when playing with other dogs. That is not a problem, she will learn very quickly, especially as she is snack-motivated. Moana is looking for an active home, definitely together with at least 1 more dog, or more, even better. When a new dog is joining the pack, she can be a bit barky in the beginning, but she means no harm with that, Moana is a friendly, social girl, and after her initial excitement, will settle into a new friendship quickly. When she is with his dog friends, then she is not afraid of anything! Moana went out for the day with volunteers, without other dogs, and then she was of course a bit shy and afraid of new situations, and at the moment she also seems to be a bit more afraid of men, but this will surely adjust over time. She loves to be touched, when you do it gently, and once she feels safe in your arms, then she melts like butter, falling asleep when you kiss her. We do not yet know how Moana would feel in a town environment, but we see that we a dog friend on her side, she is much more courageous and curious to go exploring new things and places. Moana has a low positive level of leishmania, which is already in full treatment, however his future family should be prepared to keep an eye on her blood test yearly, it is not difficult and the shelter or the international adoptions teams will always be available to support the family. Her shoulder height is about 47cm.

About Moana

What life with Moana looks like

Moana is a small young adult podenco 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: Needs guidance with human play interaction, initially shy with men, requires multiple dog household

🇪🇸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.
