How do I contact the shelter about Valentin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Valentin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Valentin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 Valentin 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 Valentin 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 Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Valentin 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.

Border Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

Name: Valentin Breed: Border Collie Gender: Male Height: approx. 52 cm Date of Birth: January 31, 2024 Weight: approx. 18 kg Child-friendly: Yes, gets along well with older children Socially compatible with other dogs: Yes Socially compatible with cats: Yes, cat must be familiar with dog Neutered: Yes Veterinarian’s note: microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, EU pet passport Mediterranean test: negative Remarks: Pfotenhilfe Sachsen Current location: Germany / Saxony Adoption fee: 600 Euros including transport Last update: May 2026 It’s been quiet around me for a long time, but now it’s finally time to let you know something about me again. I wasn’t idle during my winter break! I’ve really come to love the snow here—there’s nothing better than romping through the white stuff with my canine buddies. I’ve also continued to gain weight, and as my foster mom says now, I’m at my ideal weight—not 90-60-90, but my normal weight. I’m still diligently practicing visual cues and already have quite a repertoire, which makes communication between us two-legged creatures and me work so smoothly. The only thing I’m really longing for now is my own forever family—someone who’ll stick by me through thick and thin. Of course, I’m doing great in my foster home, but it would be wonderful if I could share those cuddles not just with one other four-legged friend, but with six others instead. My foster mom can’t understand why the right spark hasn’t yet ignited with any potential adopters. She always says I’m such a wonderful boy—and after all I’ve learned already, I’m no longer a blank slate; rather, I’m like a rough diamond that just needs further polishing. So if you feel exactly like the person I’m describing right now, and you think Valentin could complete your family, please get in touch with the association. I’d be thrilled if we could get to know each other better, because I have to admit—I do take a bit of time to warm up. See you soon, your Valentin Application at www.pfotenhilfe-sachsen.de

Name: Valentin Rasse: Border Collie Geschlecht: männlich Größe: ca. 52 cm Alter: 31.01.2024 Gewicht: ca. 18 kg Kinderfreundlich: Ja, größere verträglich mit Artgenossen: Ja verträglich mit Katzen: Ja, Katze muss Hund kennen Kastriert: Ja Information des Tierarztes: gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, EU-Pass Mittelmeertest: negative Bemerkungen: Pfotenhilfe Sachsen Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Deutschland / Sachsen Schutzgebühr: 600 Euro inkl. Transport letztes Update: Mai 2026 Lange war es ruhig um mich, nun ist es wieder an der Zeit, mal was von mir hören zu lassen. Ich war in meiner Winterpause nicht untätig! Ich habe hier den Schnee richtig lieben gelernt, es gibt nichts Schöneres als mit meinen Hundekumpels durchs weiße Nass zu toben. Ich habe auch weiter an Gewicht zugelegt und wie sagt das Pflegefrauchen jetzt hab ich Idealmaße, also nicht 90-60-90 sondern mein Normalgewicht. Ich trainiere weiterhin fleißig Sichtzeichen und kann da schon ein ordentliches Repertoire aufweisen, so funktioniert auch die Kommunikation zwischen den Zweibeinern und mir. Was ich mir jetzt nur wünsche, meine richtige eigene Familie, die mit mir durch Dick und Dünn geht. Klar geht's mir super in der Pflegefamilie, aber wenn ich die Streicheleinheiten nur mit einem weiteren Vierbeiner teilen muss und nicht mit sechs weiteren, das wäre so toll. Mein Pflegefrauchen kanns auch nicht verstehen, dass bei noch keinem der richtige Funke übergesprungen ist, sie sagt immer ich bin so ein toller Bub und mittlerweile hab ich schon so viel gelernt und bin kein unbeschriebenes Blatt mehr aber ein angeschliffener Rohdiamant, den es weiter zu schleifen gilt. Also falls du ja genau du dich jetzt angesprochen fühlst, und du denkst Valentin könnte unsere Familie komplettieren schreib an den Verein und ich freu mich, wenn wir uns etwas näher beschnuppern könnten, denn das muss ich zugeben braucht bei mir etwas. Bis bald euer Valentin Bewerbung unter www.pfotenhilfe-sachsen.de

About Valentin

What life with Valentin looks like

Valentin is a young adult border collie dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 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.
