Adopt Leonor

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 8 years

Spanish Greyhound female dog 01.11.2017 67 cm Leonor comes from the hunting region of Castilla la Mancha, where she led a sad life in the overcrowded Perrera before our partner organization took her in. So Leonor found her way to us and is now searching for her favorite person. Leonor, the Cautious. Leonor is a wonderful Galgo but still needs time to come out of herself. She makes daily progress, but her trust cannot be given to us so quickly. When entering the dog room, she comes forward cautiously with the others and tries to be part of it. However, if one expects something too soon from her, she tries to escape. She needs gentle handling with a good portion of security. Character and nature—temperament: calm, cautious, independent—Trust in humans: She needs time, but there is curiosity—Approachability, contact: She avoids at first, but slowly comes out of herself—Social behavior towards dogs: social—Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday competence—Uncertainties: Unknown sounds, human movements nearby—Adaptability to new situations: Requires time and training—Exploratory behavior: Cautious. In new situations, she needs a calm lead. Activity and energy level—Activity drive: High, she needs free run possibilities in a secure setting—Leash handling: acceptable, but still unsure—Learning readiness: Average, she needs our trust first, then it works well—Hunting motivation: present We wish for Leonor people who work with her with time, empathy, and patience to build her trust, so that her curiosity prevails and she blossoms. Leonor is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Galgo Español Hündin 01.11.2017 67 cm Leonor stammt aus der Jagdregion Castilla la mancha, wo sie in der überfüllten Perrera ein tristes Leben geführt hat, bevor unsere Partnerorganisation sie übernehmen konnte. So fand Leonor den Weg zu uns und sucht nun ihren Lieblingsmenschen. Leonor, die Misstrauische. Leonor ist eine wunderbare Galga, die aber noch Zeit benötigt, um aus sich herauszukommen. Sie macht täglich Fortschritte, aber ihr Vertrauen kann sie uns nicht so schnell schenken. Wenn man das Hundezimmer betritt, kommt sie zwar vorsichtig mit den anderen nach vorne und versucht, auch mit dabei zu sein. Erwartet man jedoch zu schnell etwas von ihr, versucht sie die Flucht zu ergreifen. Sie braucht ein ruhiges Handling mit einer guten Portion Sicherheit. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: ruhig, vorsichtig, eigenständig– Vertrauen zu Menschen: Sie braucht Zeit, aber die Neugier ist da.– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: Meidend, aber langsam kommt sie aus sich heraus.– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: sozial– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Unbekannte Geräusche, Bewegungen des Menschen in ihrer Nähe– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: Das erfordert Zeit und Training.– Erkundungsverhalten: Vorsichtig. In neuen Situationen braucht sie eine ruhige Führung. Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel – Bewegungsdrang: Hoch, sie benötigt Freilaufmöglichkeiten in einem gesicherten Rahmen.– Leinenführigkeit: passabel, aber noch unsicher– Lernbereitschaft: Durchschnittlich, sie braucht erst das Vertrauen in uns Zweibeiner, dann klappt das gut.– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Leonor Menschen, die mit Zeit, Einfühlungsvermögen und Geduld zusammen mit ihr an ihrem Vertrauen arbeiten, damit ihre Neugier überwiegt und sie aufblühen kann. Leonor ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert? H I E R geht es zu unserer Adoptionsanfrage / Termine nur auf Voranmeldung

About Leonor

What life with Leonor looks like

Leonor is a extra-large adult galgo español dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

An 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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leonor, answered.

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