Santa

Galgo Español · Male · Adult · 5 years

This beautiful Spanish Greyhound was rescued in the bones, with the rope embedded in its neck. They had tried to hang him, but he managed to escape. He's a fighter, a noble Spanish Greyhound with a fear of people. He needs a family with a lot of patience, to help him trust people again. At the animal rescue association, he lives with another greyhound and that helps him a lot. In the park, he goes out with other dogs, males and females, without any problem. Adopt Santa and give him the happiness he was denied before. Do you want to give him a home?

Este precioso galgo fue rescatado en los huesos, con la soga incrustada en su cuello. Le habían intentado ahorcar, pero consiguió escapar. Es un luchador, un galgo noble con terror a las personas. Necesita una familia con mucha paciencia, que le ayude a confiar en las personas. En la protectora convive con otra galga y eso le ayuda mucho. En el parque sale con otros perros, machos y hembras, sin problema. Adopta a Santa y devuélvele la alegría que anteriormente le negaron. ¿Quieres darle un hogar?

About Santa

What life with Santa looks like

Santa is a medium-sized adult galgo español dog waiting at Fundacion Animal Rescue.

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 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 Santa, answered.

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