Adopt Florentine

Belgian Malinois · Female · Puppy

Malinois mixed breed Florentine – ready for the big adventure of life Florentine did not have an easy start in life. Growing up together with her siblings Fabio and Francesca, she currently resides at the animal shelter – a place that offers her protection but not what young dogs truly need: a family to show them the world. For Florentine, the whole life lies ahead. And she is looking for people who are ready to accompany her on this journey. Florentine is a Malinois-mixed breed. And this is not a minor note, but an important one: with a high probability, this cute puppy will grow into an intelligent, active, and sensitive female dog who needs both physical and mental stimulation. Training sessions, dog sports, exciting outings, or other tasks that challenge both mind and body could bring her great joy. However, Florentine still has a lot to learn. Housebreaking, leash training, life in the house, everyday noises, and many other things are still new to her. And of course, there will be challenges on the path to adulthood. She needs people who will patiently explain the world to her, provide her with security, and lovingly guide her through the puppy and adolescent years. We always ask that the responsibility for a dog not be taken lightly. Nevertheless, the responsible decision to offer a home to a dog in need means also gaining a lifelong friend. If you are aware of what adopting a shelter dog entails and you have fallen for the emergency, please contact the responsible mediator at SALVA Hundehilfe. We and Florentine would also be very grateful for the provision of a foster home!

Malinois Mischling Florentine – bereit für den Start ins große Abenteuer Leben Florentine hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Gemeinsam mit ihren Geschwistern Fabio und Francesca wächst sie im Moment im Tierheim auf – einem Ort, der einem Welpen zwar Schutz bietet, aber nicht das, was junge Hunde eigentlich brauchen: eine Familie, die ihnen die Welt zeigt. Dabei wartet auf Florentine das ganze Leben noch. Und dafür sucht sie Menschen, die bereit sind, sie auf diesem Weg zu begleiten. Florentine ist ein Malinois-Mischling. Und das ist keine kleine Randnotiz, sondern ein wichtiger Hinweis: Aus diesem niedlichen Welpen wird mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit eine intelligente, aktive und sensible Hündin, die sowohl körperliche als auch geistige Auslastung braucht. Gemeinsames Training, Hundesport, spannende Ausflüge oder andere Aufgaben, die Kopf und Körper fordern, könnten ihr große Freude bereiten. Noch muss Florentine allerdings alles lernen. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, das Leben im Haus, Alltagsgeräusche und viele andere Dinge sind für sie Neuland. Und natürlich wird es auf dem Weg ins Erwachsenwerden auch Herausforderungen geben. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihr geduldig die Welt erklären, ihr Sicherheit vermitteln und sie liebevoll durch die Junghunde- und Pubertätszeit begleiten. Wir bitten immer darum, die Verantwortung für einen Hund nicht leichtfertig zu übernehmen. Trotzdem: Die gewissenhafte Entscheidung, einem Hund in Not ein Zuhause für immer anzubieten, bedeutet auch, einen Freund fürs Leben zu gewinnen. Wenn Sie sich bewusst sind, was mit der Adoption eines Tierschutzhundes auf Sie zukommt, und Sie sich in die Notnase verguckt haben, dann nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt zu der zuständigen Vermittlerin der SALVA Hundehilfe auf. Auch über das Bereitstellen einer Pflegestelle wären wir und Florentine sehr dankbar! Hier gehts zu Florentines Video

About Florentine

What life with Florentine looks like

Florentine is a large puppy/kitten belgian malinois dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Florentine, answered.

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