Socio

Akita · Male · Senior · 9 years

Socio has been visited the shelter already a few times in the past, when he was found without his owner, and stayed in the shelter a few days before he was picked up again. Already then we thought we will probably be seeing him again one day. And not long time later, Socio was given away by the owner, after the years that Socio spent sleeping in his bed, dedicating his life to his human. Socio is now looking for a new home, where he can peacefully spend his remaining years, without coming in and out of the shelter every few months. Socio loves going for walks with our volunteers. He is not the kind of dog to directly go happily kissing every stranger, no, Socio is a dog with his own character and he has his own private space. He is thankful to people who will respect him and handle him like a majestic animal that he is, and not a cuddle toy for the sofa. Socio is active and sporty, but at the same time, he is relaxed in his kennel and does not jump around stressed. As he is coming from a home environment, then we can be quite sure he is house trained and used to living in a home. He is a type of a Akita/Husky/Jindo breed of dog.

About Socio

What life with Socio looks like

Socio is a medium-sized senior akita 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Socio, answered.

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