Troska

Mixed Breed · Female

I am Troska, the oldest dog at our shelter, and no one understands how I'm still here. I came from a pretty critical situation; my old owner left me to fend for myself on a farm, throwing food down a ladder. I was in terrible physical condition, living in a dump-filled farm with terrible conditions. The rescue got me out of that situation just in time, as my old owner wanted to euthanize me. I arrived with a lot of fear; I had never socialized with humans or other dogs. But with the hard work and dedication of the volunteers, I'm now a completely different dog. I love to walk and nap in the sun equally, the sofa is my weakness, and I'm also a very observant (or nosy, hehe) dog. I love to play and get lots of attention. I'm looking for a family that will love me, respect my space, and give me the chance to show who I am.

Soy Troska, la perra más veterana del refugio y nadie entiende como sigo aquí. Llegué de una situación bastante crítica, mi antiguo dueño me tenía en una finca a mi suerte y me tiraban comida a través de una escalera. Estaba en muy mala forma física y en una finca llena de basura y en una condiciones nefastas. Rescue me sacó justo a tiempo de esa situación, ya que el que era mi dueño me quería scrificar. Llegué con mucho miedo, nunca había socializado con humanos ni con otros perros, pero con trabajo y la dedicación de los voluntarios ahora soy una perra completamente diferente. Me encanta pasear y tumbarme al sol a partes iguales, el sofá es mi debilidad y también soy una perra muy observadora (por no decir cotilla jeje). Me gusta mucho jugar y los mimos. Busco una familia que me sepa querer, respetar mi espacio y que me de la oportunidad de demostrar como soy.

About Troska

What life with Troska looks like

Troska is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rescue Galicia in Vigo.

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 Troska, answered.

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