How do I contact the shelter about Fabio?

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 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 — 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 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 New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz 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.

Fabio

Galgo Español · Male · Young · 2 years

Spanish Greyhound male 01.06.2024 66 cm Fabio comes from hunting in Spain. After he was no longer useful to the hunter, he was sorted out like so many other Galgos. Our partner organization took Fabio in, and now he is with us in Switzerland and has the chance for a new life. Fabio, the handsome rough-coated male. Fabio is a young, wonderful, and playful Galgo male. One might think nothing can shake him anymore. But while walking, it becomes clear that he doesn't really know what all this means. Obviously insecure, he walks close to the side of the person. He has to let all the new impressions, such as new smells or encounters, affect him and sort them out. And he must learn to understand that people no longer have big expectations of him. Character and temperament - Basic temperament: lively, playful, friendly - Trust in people: open - Willingness to contact, approach: seeking - Social behavior towards dogs: Fabio is social and during play is a bit too enthusiastic. But hey, he's still young and wants to play! - Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday skills - Insecurities: The new environment unsettles him. He is not panicking, but he has to get used to all the new things. For example, he can learn that it's okay to sniff around on the roadside and to be a little apart from the person without expecting a leash jerk - Ability to adapt to new situations: good - Exploratory behavior: While walking outside he is still cautious. Activity level - Desire to move: high, he needs the opportunity to run freely in a secure area to let off steam in the Galgo manner - Leash handling: good - Willingness to learn: medium - Hunting drive: present. We are looking for active people who will physically and mentally challenge Fabio and also regularly provide him with contact with other dogs, so that the young male can feel at home and settle in completely. Fabio is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested? HERE you can find our adoption request / Appointments only by prior appointment.

Galgo Español Rüde 01.06.2024 66 cm Fabio kommt aus der Jagd in Spanien. Nachdem er für den Jäger keinen Nutzen mehr hatte, wurde er wie so viele andere Galgos auch aussortiert. Unsere Partnerorganisation hat Fabio übernommen, und nun ist er bei uns in der Schweiz und bekommt die Chance auf ein neues Leben. Fabio, der hübsche Rauhaarrüde. Fabio ist eine junger, wundervoller und verspielter Galgorüde. Man sollte meinen, dass ihn nichts mehr erschüttern kann. Beim Spazierengehen wird einem aber klar, dass er gar nicht so recht weiss, was das alles soll. Sichtlich unsicher, läuft er dicht an der Seite des Menschen. Er muss alle Eindrücke wie neue Gerüche oder Begegnungen auf sich wirken lassen und sie einordnen. Und er muss lernen zu verstehen, dass Menschen keine grossen Erwartungen mehr an ihn haben. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: lebhaft, verspielt, freundlich– Vertrauen zu Menschen: offen– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: suchend– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: Fabio ist sozial und im Spiel ein bisschen zu enthusiastisch. Aber hey, er ist noch jung und möchte spielen!– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Die neue Umgebung verunsichert ihn. Er ist dabei nicht panisch, aber an all das Neue muss er sich erst einmal gewöhnen. Zum Beispiel darf er lernen, dass es in Ordnung ist, einfach mal am Wegesrand zu schnuppern und sich dafür vom Menschen ein bisschen zu entfernen, ohne einen Leinenruck erwarten zu müssen– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: Draussen beim Spazierengehen ist er noch vorsichtig Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel– Bewegungsdrang: Hoch, er benötigt Freilaufmöglichkeit in einem gesicherten Bereich, um sich nach Galgomanier austoben zu können– Leinenführigkeit: gut– Lernbereitschaft: mittel– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Fabio aktive Menschen, die ihn physisch und mental auslasten und ihm auch immer wieder den Kontakt zu Artgenossen ermöglichen, damit sich der junge Rüde rundum wohlfühlen und ankommen kann. Fabio ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert? H I E R geht es zu unserer Adoptionsanfrage / Termine nur auf Voranmeldung

About Fabio

What life with Fabio looks like

Fabio is a extra-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.
