How do I contact the shelter about Petunia?

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

Can I adopt Petunia 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 Petunia 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 Petunia 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 Petunia 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.

Petunia

Podenco · Female · Young · 3 years

Two little girls arrived to the shelter, so shaky and scared, without a microchip, but surprisingly in a very good physical condition, we were surprised! Usually when we receive Podenco type of dogs, they normally arrive in bad conditions, starved etc, but Kamille & Petunia were fine physically. After the first shock, they very quickly started to trust the staff and volunteers, and by now they make sommersaults, with their tails falling off from wiggling so happy and fast, when they see people they like, approaching them. First we thought maybe they are sisters, but the veterinary says that according to the teeth, Petunia seems to be a year older than Kamille, so maybe mother & daughter, but we believe they are related. They are very affectionate with each other, care for one another. Petunia is a bit bigger, and also more courageous, comes up to humans to say hello and to ask for snacks too! Petunia also has a bit more independance to go looking around, while Kamille is cuddling with her favourite humans. Petunia loves to eat! Fresh meat meals and natural snacks are her favourite, and if you don't give it to her, she will make sure you know what she wants, by going for self-service in your pocket! While Kamille was panicking heavily on the leash at first, then Petunia is much more relaxed on the leash, and that helps Kamille, to follow her. She loves to go for a walk, and walks very nicely next to you. Once they are in the dog park, they are so alive and happy again, jumping like little deer between the bushes, looking for mice and bugs, like normal Podencos. They are both very food motivated, so it is easy to get their attention, and promote and do exercises with the girls. Of course it would be really wonderful if they could find a home together, however over some period of time, we are sure they could very well be adopted separately, providing that the adoptive home already has one or more dogs at home. While Petunia could potentially also be happy as a single dog in a quiet, calm area (still, preferably with other dogs), then Kamille absolutely, for sure, needs other dogs in the family to orientate herself. Kamille's shoulder height is 42cm, and Petunia is 46cm.

About Petunia

What life with Petunia looks like

Petunia 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.

🇪🇸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.
