Congo

Galgo Español · Male · Adult · 5 years

Congo kam mit einem Gewicht von nur 14 Kilo aus Zaragoza ins Tierheim – er bestand buchstäblich nur aus Haut und Knochen. Der arme Kerl frisst jedoch wie ein Weltmeister, sodass er innerhalb eines Monats ordentlich an Gewicht zugenommen hat. Congo wurde früher misshandelt; seine Vorbesitzer haben ihn nicht nur hungern lassen, sondern ihn auch geschlagen und schlecht behandelt. Deshalb ist er anfangs noch etwas scheu und misstrauisch gegenüber Fremden. Sobald er jedoch merkt, dass man ihn liebevoll und fürsorglich behandelt, entspannt er sich, lässt sich problemlos anfassen und genießt Streicheleinheiten und Zuwendung. Er ist ein sehr sanftmütiges Wesen. An der Leine läuft er gut neben einem her, auch wenn ihm manche Dinge noch etwas Angst machen. Congo braucht einen Artgenossen an seiner Seite, der ihm hilft, in einer neuen Umgebung Sicherheit zu gewinnen; mit einem Hund, an dem er sich orientieren kann, wird er viel schneller Fortschritte machen. Sobald er sich in seinem neuen Zuhause eingelebt hat, zeigt er sich als sehr lustiger und verspielter Hund, der mit jedem Freundschaft schließt und das Zusammenleben mit anderen Tieren genießt. Aktuell lebt er auf einer Pflegestelle friedlich und harmonisch mit anderen Rüden und Hündinnen zusammen. Alle Hunde brauchen ein liebevolles Zuhause, aber Congo hat es ganz besonders verdient – ​​nach all dem Leid, das er in seiner Vergangenheit ertragen musste.

About Congo

What life with Congo looks like

Congo is a adult galgo español dog waiting at TierNotTeam e.V. in Friesoythe.

An 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Congo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Congo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TierNotTeam e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Congo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Congo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TierNotTeam e.V. 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 Congo 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 Congo 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 TierNotTeam e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Congo 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 (DE). 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.
