How do I contact the shelter about Gracidas?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gracidas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gracidas if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 Gracidas 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 Gracidas 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gracidas 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.

Gracidas

Galgo Español · Female · Senior · 9 years

A dream for Galgo fans. Galgo Gracidas is a dream dog. With her long legs, she is as fast as the wind. Of course, she charms not only with her big, faithful round eyes and beautiful wavy coat, but also with her wonderful temperament. After arriving from Spain to her foster home, Gracidas needed a little time to warm up, but now she shows herself in her own way affectionate towards people. She enjoys being brushed by her caretaker and also enjoys lying down when invited onto the couch. The daily life with Gracidas can simply be described as relaxed and pleasant. Inside the house, she is quiet and in a mixed pack absolutely unobtrusive. During walks, she walks obediently and lightly on her feet like a deer on a leash, ignoring other dogs. Even though Gracidas is generally a rather reserved dog, she never panics, but always calmly and curiously assesses new things. We can imagine Gracidas in many households. Her new family should, just like herself, prefer a more relaxed pace and not bring any rush. We wish for her a home with a securely fenced garden or the possibility to otherwise enjoy her running pleasure on a safe area. Here is Gracidas's video.

Ein Traum für Galgo-Fans. Galgo Gracidas ist ein Traumhund. Auf ihren stelzenlangen Beinen ist sie schnell wie der Wind. Natürlich bezaubert sie nicht nur mit ihren großen treuen Kulleraugen und dem hübschen gestromten Fell, sondern auch mit ihrem wunderbaren Wesen. Nach ihrer Ankunft aus Spanien bei ihrer Pflegestelle, brauchte Gracidas ein wenig Zeit um aufzutauen, mittlerweile zeigt sie sich aber auf ihre eigene Art menschenbezogen. Gerne lässt sie sich von ihrer Bezugsperson durchkraulen und genießt nach einer Einladung aufs Sofa auch das Kontaktliegen. Den Alltag mit Gracidas kann man einfach nur als entspannt und angenehm beschreiben. Im Haus ist sie ruhig und im gemischten Rudel absolut unauffällig. Bei Spaziergängen läuft sie brav und leichtfüßig wie ein Reh an der Leine, wobei sie fremde Hunde ignoriert. Auch wenn Gracidas grundsätzlich ein eher zurückhaltender Hund ist, wird sie nie panisch, sondern begutachtet Neues immer erstmal ganz ruhig und voller Neugier. Wir können uns Gracidas in vielerlei Haushalten vorstellen. Ihre neue Familie sollte nur, genau wie sie selbst, lieber etwas gemütlicher unterwegs sein und keine Hektik mitbringen. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause mit einem sicher eingezäunten Garten oder der Möglichkeit anderweitig auf einem gesicherten Gelände ihrer Lauffreude nachkommen zu können.

About Gracidas

What life with Gracidas looks like

Gracidas is a large senior galgo español dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
