How do I contact the shelter about Zeus?

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

Can I adopt Zeus 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 Zeus 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 Zeus 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 Zeus 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.

Zeus

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Zeus is one of the more special cases that we have in the shelter. He was taken away from a terrible scenario of life, having been bred and "trained" for dogfighting. This very sadly determines one very important thing for the rest of his life - Zeus cannot be together with ANY other dog in this lifetime anymore. In his previous life, he was abused to such a deep level of consciousness, that this will never leave him anymore - seeing another dog means for him "kill or be killed". Seeing other dogs really stresses him massively, and for his happiness in the last years of his life, we are looking for a very responsible human for him, who takes this with 120% seriousness. Now, to the beautiful sides of Zeus: he loves his favourite volunteers very much and enjoys spending all possible moments with them - either for walking, accompanying his shelter caretaker to the garage and on car drives, and simply chilling on the sofa. Zeus had such a horrific start to his life, that now on the second half of his life, our volunteers try to make it as nice for him as possible in a shelter environment. Every week Zeus is enjoying a dog massage treatment by a K9 massage specialist, and he let's you touch him all over his body without drama! If you motivate him a bit, then he also gets playful and invites you for a little wrestle! Careful though, his nose is so long that he bounces into you easily! Zeus has spent such a long time in the shelter and we are hoping that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for him, a home that accepts him with his baggage - a past that he himself did not choose, a past where he was a victim. When he arrived to the shelter, he was extremely underweight and he had been poisoned, his arrival was one of the worst cases that our shelter has seen. Now Zeus is healthy and checked by several veterinaries - his blood tests are good, his mobility is good, skin, eyes, ears - he is a healthy senior bully! Zeus weighs about 16kilos and is only about 35cm high. If you think your home is the right place for Zeus and you would like to show him the meaning of true love, then please contact us for an interview and appointment to meet him.

About Zeus

What life with Zeus looks like

Zeus is a small 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.

🇪🇸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.
