Viktoria

Podenco · Female · Young · 2 years

Viktoria came to us after the Search & Rescue team spent quite some time to catch her, she was scared and shy back then.... It took her several weeks to start coming out of her shell, but at the same time, she was feeling super comfortable, cheerful and more confident in her kennel, which became her safe space. Viktoria is a very beautiful Bodeguero/Podenco type of dog, and she looks very memorable, we don't often see a dog having her looks. She always enjoys the company of other dogs, and having canine friends around, gives her confidence, joy and bring her out of her shell much faster. She is therefore definitely looking for a home with at least 1 other dog, and some experience in rehabilitating scared/shy dogs, because she will surely be somewhat shy again once she moves to a new environment. Once she knows the routine and has her friends, she is active, playful and loves to run around the dog park with her dog friends. Viktoria can still be shy about completely new people approaching her, but she is getting more and more confident every day, as she walks daily with various volunteers and meets new people every day. When Viktoria is together with her dog friends, she walks very well on the leash, and enjoys walks and meeting other calm, social dogs, and also new people, when they don't come to her running and loud. Her ideal home would be close to the nature, in a calm environment, in the countryside, or maybe a small town, or suburbs, where she could go for calm walks without much traffic or too many changes to her daily life - routine and familiar environment will give her confidence. Viktoria is a very kind girl, who actually really is playful and full of joy, she just needs an environment where to feel relaxed, and her happy self can shine. Her shoulder height is 43cm.

About Viktoria

What life with Viktoria looks like

Viktoria is a medium-sized 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Viktoria, answered.

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