Gael

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

History Gael is the brother of Chloe and Margot and the son of Grace. Together with his family, he recently came to the animal shelter of Pro Animal on La Gomera after his previous owner had to surrender the dogs. For many years, the dogs lived under the simplest, unsightly conditions and spent most of their lives in cages, with little contact with humans. Now, the dear fellow finally gets the chance for a better and loving home. The handsome male dog is a gentle and social animal who finds security in the presence of other dogs. Towards humans, Gael currently shows some caution, but with patience, calmness, and loving affection, he will gradually gain trust. For the sensitive young dog, we wish for people with hearts who will give him the time to settle in and show him how wonderful a protected family life can be.

Vorgeschichte Gael ist der Bruder von Chloe und Margot und der Sohn von Grace. Gemeinsam mit seiner Familie kam er vor Kurzem ins Tierheim des Tierschutzvereins Pro Animal auf La Gomera, nachdem sein ehemaliger Besitzer die Hunde abgeben musste. Viele Jahre lebten die Hunde unter einfachsten, unschönen Bedingungen und verbrachten einen Großteil ihres Lebens in Käfigen, mit nur wenig Kontakt zu Menschen. Nun bekommt der liebe Kerl endlich die Chance auf ein besseres und liebevolles Zuhause. Der hübsche Rüde ist ein sanfter und sozialer Hund, der sich stark an anderen Hunden orientiert und in ihrer Nähe Sicherheit findet. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Gael momentan noch etwas vorsichtig, doch mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Zuwendung wird er Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen. Für den sensiblen jungen Hund wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Herz, die ihm die Zeit geben anzukommen und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein behütetes Familienleben sein kann.

About Gael

What life with Gael looks like

Gael is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Garafia e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Gael, answered.

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