Lyra

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 5 years

Lyra – gentle Galga seeks her Forever Home Our wonderful Galga Lyra waits at the Spanish animal shelter for people who will give her the love and security she so desperately needs. Lyra is an exceptionally affectionate and clingy female dog with a wonderful nature. She combines boundless energy and playfulness with a gentle and tender demeanor: sometimes she is full of energy, running around exuberantly and enjoying play with her dog friends, then she seeks the closeness of her people to enjoy quiet and intimate moments. Toward people, Lyra is open, friendly, and very cuddly. She quickly forms a close bond and loves the contact with her trusted people. She is not pushy – rather, she manages to win a firm place in the hearts of her people with her quiet, charming manner and stay there forever. She also gets along very well with other dogs. She lives harmoniously with fellow animals, showing herself to be social and balanced, and would therefore be well suited as a second dog in an existing pack or in a household with other dogs. Her uncomplicated nature makes her a wonderful companion for people who want a friendly and harmonious female dog by their side. Lyra was diagnosed with leishmaniasis. However, she shows good general well-being and can lead a happy and fulfilling life with appropriate veterinary care and regular check-ups. We are happy to inform interested parties in detail about the illness and how to deal with it. More information can be found on our information page. For Lyra, we wish for a loving home where she can finally arrive and be valued as a full-fledged family member. Whoever gives her a chance wins a loyal, sensitive, and special companion who enriches every day with her loving nature. Who wants to show this wonderful Galga that her best chapter is still ahead of her?

Lyra – sanfte Galga sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Unsere wunderschöne Galga Lyra wartet im spanischen Tierheim auf Menschen, die ihr die Liebe und Geborgenheit schenken, die sie so sehr verdient. Lyra ist eine ausgesprochen liebevolle und anhängliche Hündin mit einem wunderbaren Wesen. Sie vereint auf bezaubernde Weise Lebensfreude und Sanftmut: Mal steckt sie voller Energie, flitzt ausgelassen umher und genießt das Spiel mit ihren Hundefreunden, dann wieder sucht sie die Nähe ihrer Menschen, um ruhige und innige Momente zu genießen. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Lyra offen, freundlich und sehr verschmust. Sie baut schnell eine enge Bindung auf und liebt den Kontakt zu ihren Bezugspersonen. Dabei ist sie nicht aufdringlich – vielmehr schafft sie es mit ihrer ruhigen, charmanten Art, sich ganz leise einen festen Platz im Herzen ihrer Menschen zu erobern und dort für immer zu bleiben. Auch mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Lyra sehr gut. Sie lebt problemlos mit Artgenossen zusammen, zeigt sich sozial und ausgeglichen und wäre daher sowohl als Zweithund als auch in einem bestehenden Hunderudel gut aufgehoben. Ihre unkomplizierte Art macht sie zu einer wunderbaren Begleiterin für Menschen, die sich eine freundliche und harmonische Hündin an ihrer Seite wünschen. Bei Lyra wurde Leishmaniose festgestellt. Sie zeigt jedoch ein gutes Allgemeinbefinden und kann – mit entsprechender tierärztlicher Betreuung und regelmäßigen Kontrollen – ein glückliches und erfülltes Leben führen. Gerne informieren wir Interessenten ausführlich über die Erkrankung und den Umgang damit. Mehr Informationen finden Sie auf unserer Informationsseite. Für Lyra wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf und als vollwertiges Familienmitglied geschätzt wird. Wer ihr eine Chance gibt, gewinnt eine treue, sensible und besondere Begleiterin, die mit ihrer liebevollen Art jeden Tag bereichert. Wer möchte dieser wundervollen Galga zeigen, dass ihr schönstes Kapitel noch vor ihr liegt? Hier geht’s zu Lyras Video

About Lyra

What life with Lyra looks like

Lyra is a adult galgo español dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lyra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lyra?
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 Lyra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lyra 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 Lyra 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 Lyra 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 Lyra 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.
