Fabio

Mixed Breed · Unknown

A black beauty with soulful eyes—that’s our gentle Fabio. He was deemed unsuitable for hunting and discarded. But his former owner did have a heart after all, driving over 100 km to bring Fabio to the animal shelter with Alberto, refusing to leave him to the fate of discarded Galgos after hunting season. As you can see in the video, Fabio gets along well with the other dogs at the animal shelter. He’s been there for about two months and has shown himself to be very cuddly and clingy. Right now, he follows one of the shelter staff members everywhere they go. But once he finds his forever trusted people, he’ll do the same with them. Galgos are known for being extremely clingy and social once they’ve built trust. Indoors, they’re typically calm companions who seek out and enjoy soft resting spots and closeness to their humans. Outside, they love exploring their surroundings with their long noses and legs—graceful and serene in a way that’s simply captivating. We’re looking for people for Fabio who either already understand or are willing to learn about the sensitive nature of Galgos. With patience and loving guidance, he’ll become a wonderful companion for many activities. Could you imagine forming a team with him? Fabio will help you as best he can!.

Eine schwarze Schönheit mit seelenvollem Blick: das ist unser zarter Fabio. Er wurde als jagduntauglich aussortiert. Sein früherer Besitzer hatte aber doch so etwas wie ein Herz und fuhr über 100 km um Fabio im Tierheim bei Alberto abzugeben und ihn nicht dem Schicksal aussortierter Galgos nach der Jagdsaison zu überlassen. Wie auf dem Video zu sehen ist, kommt Fabio mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheim gut klar. Er ist dort seit ca. 2 Monaten und hat sich als sehr verschmust und anhänglich gezeigt. Momentan ist es ein Mitarbeiter des Tierheims, dem er auf Schritt und Tritt folgt. Sobald er aber seine Für-immer-Bezugspersonen gefunden hat, wird er das auch bei ihr machen. Galgos sind bekannt dafür, dass sie sehr anhänglich und sozial sind, wenn sie erst mal Vertrauen gefasst haben. Im Haus sind Galgos rassetypisch eher ruhige Mitbewohner, die weiche Liegeplätze und die Nähe ihrer Menschen suchen und genießen. Draußen erkunden sie gerne mit ihren langen Nasen und langen Beinen die Umgebung und das mit einer Eleganz und Ruhe, die einfach nur faszinierend ist. Für Fabio suchen wir Menschen, die sich mit der sensiblen Art der Galgos auskennen bzw. kennenlernen wollen. Mit Geduld und einer liebevollen Führung wird er ein ganz toller Begleiter für viele Aktivitäten werden. Könnten Sie sich vorstellen mit ihm ein Team zu bilden? Fabio hilft Ihnen, so gut er kann!

About Fabio

What life with Fabio looks like

Fabio is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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 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 Fabio, answered.

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