GALA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

GALA appeared wandering alone on the road. A volunteer spotted her and immediately took her to the veterinarian to check if she had a microchip. The surprise was that she did, and her owner didn't want her, so they "gave her to us." GALA was very neglected and unvaccinated. She had Leishmania, which she has successfully negated, and she is strong and healthy today like a warrior. She is a very affectionate, calm, and submissive dog. The only thing we are looking for is a family that can give her the best retirement and happiness.

Gala apareció vagando por la carretera solita. Una voluntaria la vio e inmediatamente acudió al veterinario para comprobar si tenía chip. La sorpresa era que sí tenía y su dueño no la quería, por tanto nos "la regaló". Gala estaba muy descuidada y sin vacunas. Tenía leishmania, la cual ha conseguido negativizar, y está fuerte y sana a día de hoy como una guerrera. Es una perra muy cariñosa, tranquila y sumisa. Lo único que buscamos para Gala es una familia que le dé la mayor de la jubilaciones y que sea feliz.

About GALA

What life with GALA looks like

GALA is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Arca de Noé in Spain.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting GALA, answered.

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