Petra the Breton

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Petra the Breton was found together with her little sidekick friend Chilifox, on the streets, alone. Petra has a microchip that is registrated to a hunter, but the registrated owner has not responded or come looking for her, so we are hoping that Petra can find a new home, away from the Spanish hunters way of life. She has an incredibly sweet and kind character, such a soft smoocher girl. Even though she is quite small in size, she is otherwise a typical loving Breton girl - when in the nature, always sniffing, picking up trails, looking for the next adventure - definitely a candidate for wearing a GPS tracker. When together with humans, she is always looking for closeness, for attention, love and cuddles, so if you sit down, you will either find her butt pushing you for scratches, or Petra breathing directly into you face, because personal space does not exist for her! She also loves to put her paws on your hips when your standing, and stay in contact with you. Petra is so social and friendly with other dogs, she is a wonderful lead dog for scared or nervous dogs. Even though she could potentially be an only dog of a family, then ideally she is looking for a home where she could continue to have very regular social contact with other dogs. For their loving, soft, kind characters, Bretons would normally make great dogs for first-time dog owners, but in case her forever humans have not had dogs before, they should definitely educate themselves in advance on the breed, and it's desire for intentive nose-work, search-work, and the need for physical activity, especially when they are younger and healthy. With their sense of adventure, they are also dogs that can easily find their way out of enclosed spaces, so a home with a very secure garden would be ideal for Petra. They usually also make good family dogs, when there are children in the family, with their kind nature towards humans. She seems to be a very balanced dog, and would most likely feel confident also in a bit busier environment, like a suburban down, with a lot of access to nature of course. Her shoulder height is 42cm, and she arrived to us in good shape.

About Petra the Breton

What life with Petra the Breton looks like

Petra the Breton is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed 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.

🇪🇸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 Petra the Breton, answered.

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