Tyson

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Tyson used to be an energetic, cheerful, and sociable boy.... Tyson is 11 years old. Now, after 7 years in the shelter, Tyson is becoming just a shadow of his former fun-loving self. As of 15.11.2025 Tyson is almost unable to walk. In October 2025, he started getting bad on his back legs, not getting up with the motivation that he used to get up when it was finally time for his one weekly walk, as he lives in the back area of the shelter, where the dogs have only 1 walk a week. The hips and back legs started to be a bit tired, he has been dragging them around a bit. Once we visited the traumatologist, Tyson was diagnosed with discendopolosis and hip dysplasia, which in itself do not have to be such a big deal. But now, with the damp weather and 7 years on cement floors, lack of movement, lack of comfort - Tyson can barely get up any more, and his medication for pain is already on the highest level allowed. For Tyson we are urgently looking for an emergency recovery foster, with a human who will have the time and patience to take him on short mini walks for pee & poo, relieve his bone pain with warm bottle therapy, give him his medications, gentle massages and allow him to rest and recover while we consult with traumatologists. Tyson is a lovely boy, he is kind and gentle with humans, and he makes no trouble at all. He is looking for a home/foster without other animals, especially now that he is in such pain, so he could recover in peace and have still a feeling of a loving home, a memory of a life he could have had, all these 7 years he spent in the shelter. So once he crosses the rainbow bridge, he would know that he was loved and cared for. Maybe a home in the end will help with the sorrow of 7 lonely years.

About Tyson

What life with Tyson looks like

Tyson is a medium-sized senior mixed breed 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.

Note from the shelter: Hip dysplasia and discendopolosis requiring pain medication, warm therapy, gentle massages, and limited mobility assistance

🇪🇸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 Tyson, answered.

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