EMILY

Galgo Español · Female · Young · 3 years

Today we’d like to introduce you to Emily, a young greyhound who came to us after being hit by a car, with her microchip removed and a fracture in one of her hind legs that later led to skin necrosis. She’s currently staying at one of our foster homes; her wounds are healing nicely, but she still has some recovery time ahead of her. She’s very grateful and affectionate, and she loves playing with her four-legged friends. If you’d like, you can become her sponsor to help us cover her expenses until she’s ready to find her forever family.

About EMILY

What life with EMILY looks like

EMILY is a large young adult galgo español dog waiting at Asociación Animalejos in Spain.

A 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting EMILY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about EMILY?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Asociación Animalejos handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw EMILY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt EMILY if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Asociación Animalejos whether they will for EMILY, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is EMILY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Asociación Animalejos lists EMILY as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Asociación Animalejos, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if EMILY isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Asociación Animalejos about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know EMILY 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 (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
