Urma

Galgo Español · Female · Young · 1 year

Spanish Greyhound female dog follows follows URMA was taken over by our partner organization from the Perrera in Toledo. Like most Galgos, she originally came from hunting, was surplus and was simply discarded. Now she is safe and ready for a new chapter in her life. URMA, the Ulknudel. URMA is a cheerful young female dog who stands out immediately with her charming personality. Initially, she is often very cautious and submissive when interacting with her fellow dogs, but she gradually becomes more open, revealing her playful side. Character and temperament - Basic temperament: friendly, playful, insecure - Trust in people: open - Enthusiasm for contact, approach: seeking - Social behavior towards dogs: URMA is social but still insecure and shows submission during dog contact - Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday skills - Insecurities: loud noises, dynamic dog interactions - Ability to adapt to new situations: good - Exploratory behavior: cautious and curious Exercise and activity level - Need for exercise: high, she needs regular off-leash opportunities in an enclosed area - Leash training: needs practice, the many environmental stimuli are still very exciting for her - Willingness to learn: medium - Prey drive: present We wish for URMA people who understand the sensitive yet playful nature of the young female dog and give her time to arrive at her own pace. A confident second dog could also provide additional guidance. URMA is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Galgo Español Hündin 01.01.2025 65cm Urma konnte durch unsere Partnerorganisation aus der Perrera in Toledo übernommen werden. Wie die meisten Galgos stammt auch sie ursprünglich aus der Jagd, war überzählig und wurde einfach aussortiert. Nun ist sie in Sicherheit und bereit für einen neuen Lebensabschnitt. Urma, die Ulknudel. Urma ist eine lebensfrohe junge Hündin, die mit ihrer charmanten Art sofort auffällt. Im Umgang mit ihren Fellkollegen zeigt sie sich anfangs häufig noch sehr vorsichtig und unterwürfig, taut aber zunehmend auf, so dass auch ihre verspielte Seite zum Vorschein kommt. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: freundlich, verspielt, unsicher– Vertrauen zu Menschen: offen– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: suchend– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: Urma ist sozial, aber noch unsicher, und zeigt sich beim Hundekontakt unterwürfig– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: laute Geräusche, dynamische Hundekontakte– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: vorsichtig und neugierig Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel– Bewegungsdrang: Hoch, sie braucht regelmässige Freilaufmöglichkeiten in einem eingezäunten Bereich– Leinenführigkeit: Das muss noch geübt werden, die vielen Umweltreize sind noch sehr spannend für sie– Lernbereitschaft: mittel– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Urma Menschen, die Verständnis für die sensible und gleichzeitig verspielte Art der jungen Hündin mitbringen und ihr die Zeit geben, um in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Ein souveräner Zweithund könnte dabei zusätzlich Orientierung geben. Urma ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert?

About Urma

What life with Urma looks like

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

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Urma, answered.

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