How do I contact the shelter about Estella?

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

Can I adopt Estella 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 Estella 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 Estella 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 Estella 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.

Estella

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 4 years

Galgo Español Hündin 10.04.2022 62 cm Estella war für die Jagd nicht geeignet, und so wurde sie unserer Partnerorganisation übergeben. Nun darf sie bei uns neu starten und sucht Menschen, die sie so annehmen, wie sie ist. Estella, the Black Beauty. Für die Jagd war Estella angeblich nicht mehr einsetzbar und wurde deshalb abgegeben. Viel wichtiger für uns aber ist, was wir heute sehen: Eine offene, aufgeschlossene und liebenswerte Galga, die sich bei uns angenehm und gelassen zeigt und wohl schon ahnt, dass jetzt endlich ihre Chance gekommen ist, in ein neues, unbeschwertes Leben zu starten. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: lebhaft, fröhlich, verspielt– Vertrauen zu Menschen: sofort offen– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: aktiv suchend– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: sozial– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Bisher konnten noch keine ausgeprägten Unsicherheiten beobachtet werden.– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: Offen und aktiv; sie lässt die neue Umgebung auf sich wirken und schaut sich alles in Ruhe an. Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel – Bewegungsdrang: Hoch, Estella braucht unbedingt ihren regelmässigen Freilauf in einem gesicherten Areal.– Leinenführigkeit: Passabel, sie lernt gerade ihre neue Umgebung kennen und findet alles spannend.– Lernbereitschaft: durchschnittlich– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden. Für Estella wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihre offene und liebenswerte Art zu schätzen wissen, ihr mit Geduld und Herz begegnen und ihr ein Zuhause schenken, in dem sie ankommen und einfach sie selbst sein darf. Estella ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert? H I E R geht es zu unserer Adoptionsanfrage / Termine nur auf Voranmeldung

About Estella

What life with Estella looks like

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

An 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.
