How do I contact the shelter about Rover?

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

Can I adopt Rover 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 Rover 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 Rover 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 Rover 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 Rover

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Rover arrived at the shelter scared and distrustful, both due to the environment and the presence of unfamiliar people. Over time, he has slowly started to open up and reveal his true personality, approaching us to seek affection and attention. Once he forms a bond with you, he enjoys staying close and he is faster and faster in trusting volunteers now, relaxing around different people in our volunteer areas, saying hello to children. Rover walks well on a leash, although he is a strong dog and may react when other dogs come too close in a too powerful or threatening way, so it's important to keep good control and continue with socialisation walks with other dogs in a positive environment. With dedication, training, and a strong bond, this will greatly improve, because he is a really good boy. Our long-term volunteers all say that he is one of the most obedient, pleasant to walk dogs in the shelter, and he builds a connection with you very quickly and listens very well to your guidelines. He follows a mealtime obedience routine that should be maintained to support his training. We are looking for a responsible family for Rover, with experience or knowledge of this breed, its character, and behavior. Ideally, he should go to a calm home, away from the noise of the city, where he can enjoy peaceful walks in nature. It's essential that his future family gives him the time and dedication he needs to form a bond, and that they are committed to continuing his training so he can learn to behave appropriately and gain confidence, as he can sometimes be insecure. In his previous home, Rover did not live with other dogs and had very little interaction with them. Because of this, we are looking for a home where he can be the only dog unless the family is living here in Spain/Marbella locally, so we can carry out socialisation walks with the family's other dogs, and slowly and positively introduce the dogs to each other. Meetings can take place in the shelter's parks or in the nature for example. Rover requires a PPP license for adoptions in Spain, however he is also available for international adoptions.

About Rover

What life with Rover looks like

Rover is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

An 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: Requires slow introduction and socialization, prefers to be only dog, needs quiet environment away from city noise

🇪🇸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.
