Adopt Valentin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Valentin arrived at the animal shelter in Italy as a puppy with his siblings. Due to the quarantine, he couldn't be rehomed, and the months passed by. Now, it's finally time, and the sweet boy is ready to start! Here, it's all about catching up, learning, and rediscovering. A confident female dog would certainly help, but he could definitely manage on his own. Children should know how to handle dogs; cats are still new to him, but that would be possible. Valentin is the smallest from the litter, voracious, and one who tends to stay in the background. Dog training classes and upbringing are now urgently necessary. We think he will turn out to be a really great guy, and we're looking for a chance for him!

Valentin kam bereits als Welpe samt Geschwister ins Tierheim in Italien. Aufgrund der Sperre konnte er nicht vermittelt werden, und die Monate vergingen. Jetzt ist es endlich soweit und der Süße ist startklar! Auch hier heißt es erstmal vieeel aufholen, lernen, neu entdecken. Eine souveräne Hündin würde sicherlich helfen, aber auch alleine schafft er es sicherlich. Kinder sollten den Umgang mit Hunden kennen, Katzen kennt er noch nicht, aber wären denkbar. Valentin ist der kleinste aus dem Wurf, verfressen und einer, der eigentlich eher im Hintergrund steht. Hundeschule und Erziehung sind jedoch nun dringend notwendig. Wir denken, aus ihm wird mal ein richtig toller Kerl, Chance gesucht!

About Valentin

What life with Valentin looks like

Valentin is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 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 Valentin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Valentin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 — Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 Fellnasen Stuttgart 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.
