Adopt Findus

Galgo Español · Male · Young · 1 year

Galgo Español male dog 04.04.2025 62 cm Findus and Felix come from a hunter who fell seriously ill and had to give up hunting. Through a friend in animal welfare, our partner organization learned about them and took the two galgos in. Now they are safe with us and can look forward to a protected home. Findus, the young explorer. Fidus is a young Galgo-male dog who wants to explore and discover the world. He is an open and cheerful nature and approaches everything with the typical openness. However, Findus finds being alone rather silly, and that still needs to be worked on. Character and nature—basic temperament: curious, playful, lively—Trust in people: immediately open, finds men a bit eerie—Approachability, closeness: actively seeking: everything that comes along is taken up for play—Social behavior towards dogs: social. He is a typical young dog who is currently testing his limits. He can already irritate his fellow furs—Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday competence—Uncertainties: being alone is still unknown—Adaptability to new situations: good—Exploratory behavior: he is curious but hasn’t figured out what he wants to do yet. Activity level—Activity drive: high, requires regular free run opportunities in a secure area—Leash behavior: needs to be practiced—Learning readiness: moderate—Hunting motivation: present We wish for Findus people who will give a young and cheerful male dog a chance and show him the world in all its aspects. A visit to dog training classes to build a foundation is absolutely recommended. Findus is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Galgo Español Rüde 04.04.2025 62 cm Findus und Felix stammen von einem Jäger, der schwer erkrankte und deswegen die Jagd aufgeben musste. Durch einen befreundeten Tierschützer hat unsere Partnerorganisation davon erfahren und die beiden Galgos aufgenommen. Jetzt sind die beiden bei uns in Sicherheit und dürfen sich auf ein behütetes Zuhause freuen. Findus, der junge Entdecker. Fidus ist ein junger Galgo-Rüde, der die Welt erkunden und entdecken möchte. Er ist eine offene Frohnatur und sieht sich mit der typischen Unvoreingenommenheit alle Dinge an. Das Alleinbleiben hingegen findet Findus so richtig doof, daran muss ganz klar noch gearbeitet werden. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: neugierig, verspielt, lebhaft– Vertrauen zu Menschen: sofort offen, Männer findet er etwas unheimlich.– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: Aktiv suchend: Alles, was daherkommt, wird zum Spielen in Beschlag genommen.– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: Sozial. Er ist ein typischer junger Hund, der gerade in der Phase ist, in der er seine Grenzen austestet. Damit kann er seinen Fellkollegen schon einmal auf die Nerven gehen.– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Das Alleinbleiben kennt er noch nicht.– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: Er ist neugierig, hat aber noch keinen Plan von dem, was er macht. Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel – Bewegungsdrang: Hoch, er benötigt regelmässige Freilaufmöglichkeiten in einem gesicherten Bereich.– Leinenführigkeit: Das muss noch geübt werden.– Lernbereitschaft: mittel– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Findus Menschen, die einem jungen und fröhlichen Rüden eine Chance geben und ihm so richtig – mit allem Drum und Dran – die Welt zeigen. Ein Besuch in der Hundeschule, um eine Basis aufzubauen, wird absolut empfohlen. Findus ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert?

About Findus

What life with Findus looks like

Findus 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Findus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Findus?
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 Findus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Findus 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 Findus 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 Findus 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 Findus 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.
