Animals in Marbella Sanctuary

Gabe is one of fifteen dogs rescued together from a desperate situation. His previous owner suffered from Noah syndrome, a psychological disorder characterized by the pathological accumulation of animals in their home. Animals are generally rescued from the streets with good intentions, but the number of animals increases too quickly to provide adequate care for each one. It was after the owner's death that neighbors notified us of the precarious situation.

In their previous home, the dogs did not go for walks, did not know what a leash is, and, at first, did not allow people to touch them. They are still in the process of socialization and adapting to a new life; a life in which each of them receives all the individual attention and love they deserve. We hope they can soon find a new home, a warm nest where their personalities can flourish.

Gabe is one of the males who wasn't neutered, chipped, or vaccinated during his previous life; he's one of the oldest dogs in the house. Gabe is the bravest of all, the one who conveyed his fear by approaching him instead of fleeing. He's still not convinced that humans won't hurt him, but his process shows that he's open to learning, more so every day. We're teaching him that the good life has just begun. It's a long and intense process, but little by little, Gabe is getting the hang of it. He lives peacefully with other dogs, both male and female.
