Paloma - Senior Alert

Labrador Retriever · Female · Senior · 9 years

Paloma and her friend Laika were given away by one of their owners after their papa passed away. They landed from a home, sofa, familiar faces, to a kennel in a loud shelter full of unfamiliar people. It is a hard shock for all dogs abandoned from a home, but especially the very senior dogs. Paloma is a small-medium Labrador type of senior girl, who absolutely loves to go for walks, and becomes really happy and active when it is time for walkies. She also loves to run like a young girl in the dog park and really enjoys physical activity! She is so mobile, so agile for her age, we could not believe she is 14 years old! So Paloma definitely still has some life left to live, and she would best live it next to a human who likes to go for 1 active walk a day (and the rest of the walkies just little walks), and ideally Paloma would have a little garden or terracein her home, where she could enjoy moving around. Paloma is very friendly with humans, though of course quite stressed and focused at the moment in the shelter environment Paloma also really loves delicious snacks and takes them with enthusiasm! Her shoulder height is 45cm. She will receive a dental cleaning, nail cutting, health check and a bath in the shelter. Paloma & Laika can be adopted together, but do not necessarily have to, because they have very different tempos and energies, and even though they support each other of course, they would both strive in their golden years in different individual homes. Laika will enjoy to be on the sofa snuggling with her human, while Paloma seems to still desire to spend the remaining of her life quite physically active! It is however a requirement that in case they go to their individual homes, both dogs must leave the shelter at the same time, so neither is left behind. All of our seniors are looking for forever homes or forever fosters. The shelter will always be available for medical & behavioral support for seniors in their retirement homes.

About Paloma - Senior Alert

What life with Paloma - Senior Alert looks like

Paloma - Senior Alert is a medium-sized senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paloma - Senior Alert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paloma - Senior Alert?: 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 Paloma - Senior Alert on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paloma - Senior Alert 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Paloma - Senior Alert 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 Paloma - Senior Alert 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 Paloma - Senior Alert 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.
