Moka

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 3 years

Moka – a delicate Galgo with a big heart seeks understanding people Moka is a beautiful Galgo who came to a Spanish animal shelter along with Bosco and Ariel after her Galguero abandoned her. While her two companions managed to overcome their initial fears rather quickly, Moka needs a bit more time. The first days at the animal shelter were very hard for her, and she still approaches new situations and strangers with great caution. But behind her insecurity lies a loving soul that is slowly opening up. By now, Moka has learned to trust some of the people she knows. With those she recognizes, she shows her gentle and affectionate side and enjoys their company. However, she still finds strangers grueling and prefers to observe them from a safe distance. Therefore, we are looking for Moka to have patient people who do not have immediate expectations of her and give her the time she needs to adjust. Moka will likely need some time to get used to her new environment and people. With patience, understanding, and loving consistency, she will gradually build trust and show how wonderful a dog she is. For Moka, we wish for a quiet home, preferably with a confident single dog she can look up to. People with hearts, patience, and understanding for sensitive dogs will find in her a loyal companion who does not easily give her trust – but for that, she is all the more valuable. Who would like to show this cautious Galgo that life holds more than fear and insecurity and give her the chance at a loving new beginning?. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Moka – zarte Galga mit großem Herzen sucht verständnisvolle Menschen Moka ist eine wunderschöne Galga, die gemeinsam mit Bosco und Ariel in ein spanisches Tierheim kam, nachdem ihr Galguero sie abgegeben hatte. Während ihre beiden Begleiter ihre anfänglichen Ängste recht schnell überwinden konnten, braucht Moka etwas mehr Zeit. Die ersten Tage im Tierheim waren für sie sehr schwer, und noch immer begegnet sie neuen Situationen und fremden Menschen mit großer Vorsicht. Doch hinter ihrer Unsicherheit verbirgt sich eine liebevolle Seele, die sich langsam, aber stetig öffnet. Inzwischen hat Moka gelernt, einigen ihr vertrauten Personen zu vertrauen. Bei Menschen, die sie kennt, zeigt sie ihre sanfte und liebenswerte Seite und genießt die Nähe zu ihnen. Fremde Menschen findet sie jedoch weiterhin gruselig und beobachtet diese lieber aus sicherer Entfernung. Deshalb suchen wir für Moka geduldige Menschen, die keine sofortigen Erwartungen an sie haben und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um anzukommen. Moka wird in ihrem neuen Zuhause vermutlich einige Zeit benötigen, um sich an die neue Umgebung und ihre Menschen zu gewöhnen. Mit Ruhe, Verständnis und liebevoller Konsequenz wird sie jedoch Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen und zeigen, welch wundervoller Hund in ihr steckt. Für Moka wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, gerne mit einem souveränen Ersthund, an dem sie sich orientieren kann. Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Verständnis für sensible Hunde werden in ihr eine treue Begleiterin finden, die ihr Vertrauen nicht leichtfertig verschenkt – dafür aber umso wertvoller. Wer möchte dieser vorsichtigen Galga zeigen, dass das Leben mehr bereithält als Angst und Unsicherheit, und ihr die Chance auf einen liebevollen Neuanfang schenken? Hier geht’s zu Mokas Video

About Moka

What life with Moka looks like

Moka is a large 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. 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 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 Moka, answered.

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