Galiba F

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

waiting at the animal shelter in Hungary - Galiba is looking for a quiet home. Galiba came to us from very poor husbandry. He was born on 15.09.2017 and is a rather quiet, shy male dog who does not actively seek the company of people - probably because he has already been through a lot. His life has left marks, and his appearance makes him look older than his 9 years. He gets along well with other animals. Galiba weighs 16.5 kg and is 43 cm tall. He needs people who give him patience, calmness, and understanding and allow him to arrive at his own pace. Whoever gives him this chance will meet a dog who, despite his cautious nature, gives his loyalty and affection once he has gained trust. Galiba is looking for a home where quiet, safety, and loving consistency shape his new daily life - a place where he can truly arrive. We gladly answer your questions.

About Galiba F

What life with Galiba F looks like

Galiba F is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Galiba F, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Galiba F?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Galiba F on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Galiba F if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundepfoten Steinfurt 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Galiba F 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 Galiba F 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 Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Galiba F 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.
