PENELOPE

Galgo Español · Female · Young · 3 years

Approximate birth date: 1/8/17. She is beautiful, Penélope. She arrived at the shelter with her companion, Eco. She is still a bit shy but we are convinced that she will quickly improve in a better home. If you sit down, she will already be looking for you with her nose to get to know you and take the step to fully confirm. She does well on a leash at the shelter. Adoption in Madrid, Segovia, or surrounding provinces.

Fecha de nacimiento aprox. 1/08/17. Está preciosa caralápiz es Penélope. Llego a la prote junto a su compañero Eco. Es aún miedosa pero estamos convencidos de que en una casa mejorará rápidamente. Si te sientas ya te busca con su hocico para conocerte y querer dar el paso de empezar a confirmar plenamente. En la prote avanza pero sabemos que un hogar logrará el cambio que tanto busca. Pasea muy bien con correa. Adopción en Madrid, Segovia o provincias limítrofes.

About PENELOPE

What life with PENELOPE looks like

PENELOPE is a large young adult galgo español dog waiting at Asociación Animalejos in Spain.

An young 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 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 PENELOPE, answered.

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