Adopt Martin Galgo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

(Can have video) UPDATE April 2026: Martin we actually found as already described. Shy, unsure and not comfortable with strangers. Completely problem-free in a group and always in the background here. Martin thus definitely needs a secure, fun companion by his side, who takes him out of his secure fortress. Of course, his humans are primarily asked to convey the security that Martin currently receives from Marta and especially dog trainer Toni. Martin will then certainly develop positively and the seriousness of a joy of life will take over. Martin was surrendered together with Martina by people without a fixed address, who had settled for a while in one of the most infamous neighborhoods of Madrid. When they no longer needed the dogs, they gave them up. Martin is the shy one of the two, orienting himself to Martina and letting her go first. A secure support would certainly be beneficial in the new home, because even during the getting-to-know-you phase, Martin is unsure. In the shelter, he always tried to create distance when Toni approached, and the different surfaces, especially the tiles in the quarantine, were a challenge for him. However, he adapts quite quickly and then gains trust. During walks that Toni takes with him, his insecurity is also visible, but he recovers quickly and allows himself to be attached to the person on the leash. We cannot imagine a city life for Martin, the new home should be rural. Size approx. 70 cm, weight approx. 22 kg, character: friendly, unsure but curious, compatible with other animals, at the animal shelter since January 2026. Martin travels microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, tested for all Mediterranean diseases, also a blood test of the organ values is created before travel arrangements. Martin will be rehomed with a safety harness, a GPS tracker is mandatory.

(mit Video) UPDATE April 2026: Martin haben wir eigentlich so vorgefunden, wie schon beschrieben. Zurückweichend, unsicher und fremde Menschen sind ihm nicht geheuer. In der Gruppe völlig problemlos und auch hier immer im Hintergrund. Martin braucht somit auf jeden Fall einen sicheren lustigen Gesellen an seiner Seite, der mit ihm den Weg aus seiner sicheren Burg in Angriff nimmt. Natürlich sind in erster Linie seine Menschen gefragt, Martin die Sicherheit zu vermitteln, die er im Shelter momentan von Marta und vor allem Hundetrainer Toni erhält. Ganz sicher wird sich Martin dann positiv entwickeln und die Ernsthaftigkeit einer Lebensfreude weichen. Martin wurde gemeinsam mit Martina von Menschen ohne festen Wohnsitz abgegeben, die sich eine Weile in einem der berüchtigtsten Viertel von Madrid niedergelassen hatten. Als sie für die Hunde keine Verwendung mehr hatten, gaben sie sie ab. Martin ist der schüchterne der beiden, orientiert sich an Martina und lässt ihr erstmal den Vortritt. Eine sichere Orientierungsstütze wäre bestimmt auch im neuen Zuhause von Vorteil, denn auch in der Kennenlernphase ist Martin unsicher. Im Shelter hat er immer versucht, Abstand zu gewinnen, wenn Toni sich genähert hat, auch machten ihm die unterschiedlichen Untergründe, vor allem die Fliesen in der Quarantäne zu schaffen. Doch er gewöhnt sich recht schnell und fasst dann auch Vertrauen. Bei Spaziergängen, die Toni mit ihm unternimmt, zeigt sich seine Unsicherheit ebenfalls, aber er fängt sich recht schnell und lässt sich auf den Menschen an der Leine ein. Ein Leben in der Stadt können wir uns für Martin aber nicht vorstellen, das neue Zuhause sollte ländlich sein. Größe ca. 70 cm, Gewicht ca. 22 kg, Charakter: freundlich, unsicher aber neugierig, Verträglich mit Artgenossen, im Tierheim seit Januar 2026 Martin reist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf alle Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet, ebenfalls wird vor Ausreise ein Blutbild der Organwerte erstellt. Martin wird mit Sicherheitsgeschirr vermittelt, ein GPS-Tracker ist obligatorisch.

About Martin Galgo

What life with Martin Galgo looks like

Martin Galgo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at TS Fellwechsel e.V. in Varel /nur Vereinssitz, kein Tierheim vor Ort.

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 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 Martin Galgo, answered.

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