Adopt ITACA

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 5 years

ITACA is a very pretty girl, 5 years old, who was found wandering in a village in Málaga with Penny and other dogs. They asked for help for Penny due to her health condition, and for Ítaca due to her psychological state, as she was very afraid. We did not hesitate to help them. When they managed to catch ITACA, we brought her to our animal shelter, and we are currently working with her to help her overcome her fear of people. We think that ITACA has had a very difficult past, which is reflected in her initial fear. ITACA gets along very well with other dogs and we will continue working to make her feel more calm and confident with the volunteers. Do you want to be Ítaca's family?

Itaca es una chica muy guapa de 5 años que fue encontrada vagando en un pueblo de Málaga junto con Penny y otros perros. Nos pidieron ayuda para Penny debido a su estado de salud, y para Ítaca debido a su estado psicológico, ya que esta tenía mucho miedo. No dudamos en ayudarlas. Cuando consiguieron coger a Itaca, la trajimos a nuestro refugio, y actualmente estamos trabajando con ella para ayudarla a superar su miedo a las personas.Pensamos que Itaca ha tenido un pasado muy difícil por lo que se refleja en su miedo inicial. Itaca se lleva muy bien con los demás perros y seguiremos trabajando para que se sienta más tranquila y confiada con los voluntarios. ¿Quieres ser la familia de Ítaca?

About ITACA

What life with ITACA looks like

ITACA is a adult galgo español dog waiting at Galgos en Familia.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸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 ITACA, answered.

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