L�zaro

Galgo Español · Male · Young · 2 years

Lázaro was abandoned with a fracture in his right knee. He was found wandering alone along a road, limping and disoriented, with no microchip, and no one has come forward to claim him. Although the prognosis for the fracture was poor, he underwent three surgeries in an attempt to save the limb; however, complications arose, and amputation ultimately became necessary. Having endured so much pain during the process, he is now adapting very well to his new condition, finally free from bandages, metal hardware, and pain. He is a very charming dog with a gentle, noble temperament. He dislikes being left alone but is not destructive and accepts the situation calmly. He spent a long time isolated and on restricted activity during his recovery, yet he behaved remarkably well considering what he went through. He knows how to open doors but is not destructive. Fortunately, he is currently in a foster home living with another neutered male Greyhound, and they get along very well. He is good with other dogs and children; we can also test his compatibility with cats, as we believe he would do well with them. The amputation site is healing nicely, and the stitches will be removed soon.

Lázaro fue abandonado con una fractura en la rodilla derecha. Deambulaba solo, cojito y desorientado por una carretera, sin microchip y nadie lo ha reclamado. Aunque su fractura tenía mal pronóstico, se ha intervenido hasta 3 veces para intentar salvar su extremidad, pero tuvo varias complicaciones y finalmente ha habido que amputar. Como ha pasado tanto dolor en el proceso, se está adaptando ahora muy bien a su nueva condición, por fin libre de vendajes, de hierros y de dolor. Es un perro muy simpático con un carácter muy dócil y noble. No le gusta quedarse solo pero no es destructivo y se resigna. Pasó mucho tiempo solo, aislado y en reposo durante su proceso de recuperación y se portó bastante bien para todo lo mal que lo ha pasado. Sabe abrir puertas pero no es destructivo. Afortunadamente, está en una casa de acogida donde convive con otro galgo macho castrado y se llevan muy bien. Es apto con otros perros, niños y se puede probar con gatos porque creemos que puede ir bien. La herida de la amputación evoluciona bien y en breve retiraremos los puntos.

About L�zaro

What life with L�zaro looks like

L�zaro is a young adult galgo español dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana in Spain.

An young 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 L�zaro, answered.

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