Merlin

Galgo Español · Male · Adult · 7 years

Breed: Galgo Español Gender: male Born: around July 2018 Height: 69 cm Compatible with dogs: yes Compatible with children: not known Compatible with cats: not known Merlin's life has been marked by pain and fear. We do not know exactly what was done to him. He was seized by the authorities because his owner had mistreated him. He has never learned what it means to be loved, and that must change urgently! Merlin gets along well with other dogs; they give him security. He is wary of strangers and it takes a while for him to overcome his fear and gain confidence. Would you like to teach him what cuddle sessions are like, how much fun it is to play around or go for a walk? Do you have a warm bed and a spot on your sofa for him? Are you aware that he needs time and has a lot to learn, and are you ready to work with him and invest patience? Wonderful! Stop by our homepage right away and get in touch with us! We will then get in touch with you. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Rasse: Galgo español Geschlecht: männlich Geboren ca. Juli 2018 Schulterhöhe: 69 cm Verträglich mit Hunden: ja Verträglich mit Kindern: nicht bekannt Verträglich mit Katzen: nicht bekannt Merlíns bisheriges Leben war geprägt von Schmerz und Angst. Was genau ihm angetan wurde, wissen wir nicht. Er wurde von den Behörden beschlagnahmt, weil sein Besitzer ihn misshandelt hat. Er hat nie gelernt, was es heißt, lieb gehabt zu werden, und das muss sich dringend ändern! Merlín versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden; sie geben ihm Sicherheit. Unbekannten Menschen gegenüber ist er ängstlich, und es dauert eine Weile, bis er seine Angst überwindet und Mut fasst. Du möchtest ihm beibringen, was Kuschelstunden sind, wie viel Spaß es macht, herumzualbern oder spazieren zu gehen? Du hast ein warmes Bettchen und einen Platz auf Deinem Sofa für ihn? Dir ist bewusst, dass er Zeit braucht und noch viel lernen muss, und Du bist bereit, mit ihm zu arbeiten und Geduld zu investieren? Wunderbar! Schau gleich auf unserer Homepage vorbei und nimm unter mit uns Kontakt auf! Wir setzen uns dann mit Dir in Verbindung.

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a adult galgo español dog waiting at Notfellchen Rumänien 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 Merlin, answered.

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