How do I contact the shelter about Principe?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Principe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Principe if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz 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 Principe 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 Principe 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 New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Principe 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.

Adopt Principe

Galgo Español · Male · Adult · 5 years

Galgo Español male dog, born 20.05.2021, 65 cm Principe comes from the Perrera of Fuenlabrada near Madrid. A hunter dropped him off there because he was no longer considered good enough for the hunt. Our partner organization took him in and brought him to safety. Now, Principe is with us in Switzerland and is waiting for his luck. Principe, the Energetic. Principe is a true bundle of energy. He wants to be everywhere and can't understand why he's not allowed to come out when someone enters the room. He wants to discover the world and shows openness and curiosity. He would never say no to a little game of fetch with his fellow furred friends on the grass. Character and nature – Basic temperament: nervous, playful, attentive – Trust in humans: open – Affection, approach: actively seeking – Social behavior towards dogs: social – Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and daily competence – Uncertainties: Passersby on the leash make him quite nervous. He doesn't know how to deal with that yet. – Adaptability to new situations: good – Curiosity: Curious. On the playfield and during walks, Principe always has something to do. Activity level – Activity drive: High. Principe wants to have the opportunity to enjoy regular free runs in a safe area and to make his heart's desire at the pace he wants. – Leash handling: Must still be trained. – Learning readiness: medium – Hunting motivation: strongly present We wish for Principe people who will foster and challenge him according to Galgo standards and give him the long-awaited care and the "freedom" he so deserves. Principe is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Galgo Español Rüde 20.05.2021 65 cm Principe stammt aus der Perrera von Fuenlabrada bei Madrid. Ein Jäger gab ihn dort ab, weil er bei der Jagd „nicht mehr gut genug“ war. Unsere Partnerorganisation übernahm ihn von dort und brachte ihn in Sicherheit. Jetzt ist Principe bei uns in der Schweiz und wartet auf sein Glück. Principe, der Lebhafte. Principe ist ein wahres Energiebündel. Er möchte gerne überall mit dabei sein und kann es so gar nicht verstehen, wenn man ins Zimmer kommt und er dann nicht mit rauskommen darf. Er möchte die Welt entdecken und zeigt sich aufgeschlossen und neugierig. Zu einem kleinen Laufspiel mit seinen Fellkollegen auf der Wiese würde er niemals nein sagen. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: nervös, verspielt, aufmerksam– Vertrauen zu Menschen: offen– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: aktiv suchend– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: sozial– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Spaziergänger, die am Zaun vorbeigehen, machen ihn ganz schön nervös. Da weiss er noch nicht, wie er das einordnen kann.– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: Neugierig. Auf der Spielwiese und beim Spazierengehen hat Principe immer etwas zu tun. Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel – Bewegungsdrang: Hoch.

About Principe

What life with Principe looks like

Principe is a extra-large adult galgo español dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
