How do I contact the shelter about Denisa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Denisa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Denisa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz 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 Denisa 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 Denisa 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 New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Denisa 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.

Adopt Denisa

Galgo Español · Female · Young · 2 years

Galgo Español female dog, born on 20.12.2023, 61 cm. Denisa was found alone on a highway in Spain. Her exact origins are unknown, but it is believed she originally came from hunting. After her rescue, she came into the care of our partner organization in Madrid, where she was cared for until she could travel to Switzerland. Denisa, the Energetic. Anyone who chooses Denisa will certainly not be bored, for she is a little turbo with her own brain. She loves playing with rubber mats at high speeds, and she would also enjoy tearing them up. Because Madame is a little interior designer: from time to time, when she gets bored, she collaborates with her roommate Judy to redesign the room. Character and nature – Temperament: playful, lively, attentive – Trust in humans: Denisa is open as long as she’s not bothered. If she feels too intrusive, she quickly shows submissive behavior. – Approachability: curious, seeking – Social behavior towards dogs: She is social and moves in the middle range of the dog group. Together with her dog colleague, she can really let loose. – Social behavior towards cats: not tested – Behavioral and daily competence – Uncertainties: with loud noises or sudden movements. – Adaptability to new situations: good – Exploration behavior: she is curious when she can decide for herself and is not forced to do anything. Then she shows herself quite open and goes on an exploration tour, whether at the car or on a walk. Activity level – Exercise drive: high, Denisa must regularly have the opportunity to run freely in a safe open space. – Leash behavior: needs to be trained. Currently, she likes to run in all directions on the leash because everything smells and looks so exciting. She does a pretty good job. – Learning readiness: moderate – Hunting motivation: present We wish for Denisa active people who can physically and mentally challenge her and provide her with security. Trust and attachment can only be built together, and Denisa is highly motivated to seize this opportunity. Denisa is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases.

Galgo Español Hündin 20.12.2023 61 cm Denisa wurde allein auf einer Autobahn in Spanien gefunden. Über ihre genaue Herkunft ist nichts bekannt, es wird jedoch vermutet, dass sie ursprünglich aus der Jagd stammt. Nach ihrer Sicherstellung kam sie in die Obhut unserer Partnerorganisation in Madrid, wo sie betreut wurde, bis sie in die Schweiz reisen konnte. Denisa, die Quirlige. Wer sich für Denisa entscheidet, dem wird sicher keine Langweile geboten, denn sie ist ein kleiner Turbolader mit eigenem Köpfchen. Haken schlagen bei hohem Tempo findet sie sehr toll, und ausserdem auch Gummimatten am Boden, die sie sehr gerne zerrupfen würde. Denn Madame ist eine kleine Innenarchitektin: Ab und an, wenn sie die Langeweile packt, gestaltet sie gemeinsam mit Zimmerkollegin Judy das Zimmer um. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: verspielt, lebhaft, aufmerksam– Vertrauen zu Menschen: Denisa ist offen, solange man nichts von ihr möchte. Wenn man zu offensiv auf sie zugeht, zeigt sie schnell ein Demutsverhalten.– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: neugierig suchend– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: Sie ist sozial und bewegt sich im mittleren Feld der Hundegruppe. Zu zweit mit ihrer Hundekollegin kann sie ordentlich Gas geben.– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Bei lauten Geräuschen oder schnellen Bewegungen.– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: Sie ist neugierig, wenn sie selbst entscheiden darf und zu nichts gedrängt wird. Dann zeigt sie sich recht offen und geht auf Erkundungstour, sei es beim Auto oder auf dem Spaziergang. Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel – Bewegungsdrang: Hoch, Denisa muss unbedingt regelmässig in einem gesicherten Freilauf die Möglichkeit bekommen, nach Herzenslust zu rennen.– Leinenführigkeit: Muss noch geübt werden. Jetzt läuft sie an der Leine gerne in alle Richtungen, weil alles so anders riecht und spannend aussieht. Sie macht sich aber schon ganz gut.– Lernbereitschaft: mittel– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Denisa aktive Menschen, die sie körperlich und mental auslasten und ihr Sicherheit vermitteln. Vertrauen und Bindung kann nur gemeinsam aufgebaut werden, und Denisa ist top motiviert, diese Chance zu bekommen. Denisa ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet.

About Denisa

What life with Denisa looks like

Denisa is a large young adult galgo español dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
