How do I contact the shelter about Valentina?

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 Valentina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Valentina 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 Valentina 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 Valentina 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 Valentina 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.

Valentina

Maltese · Female · Adult · 6 years

Valentina - a sweet Maltese female puppy is looking for a home Valentina is a loving Maltese female puppy who is initially a bit reserved in new situations. Given a little time and met with patience and kindness, she quickly thaws and shows her playful and cheerful side. Valentina is a real little foodie and is very enthusiastic about treats. This makes her wonderful to motivate and she learns quickly. She wants to please her humans and shows herself as a loyal and attentive companion. On her foster home, Valentina lives problem-free with other dogs. Even being alone for hours works well in the company of a dog. She masters car rides relaxed and sleeps through the night. If she can go outside regularly, she is reliable house trained. A loving home is being sought for Valentina, where she can arrive in peace and get the time she needs to build trust. Due to her manageable size and friendly nature, she would be suitable for a family with older children as well as a couple or young-at-heart seniors. An already existing, confident first dog would be nice, but is not a requirement. Whoever wants to get to know Valentina can look forward to a lovable, playful and loyal little female dog who will surely bring a lot of joy to her humans.

Valentina – kleine Malteser-Hündin sucht ihr Zuhause Valentina ist eine liebevolle Malteser-Hündin, die in neuen Situationen zunächst etwas zurückhaltend ist. Gibt man ihr ein wenig Zeit und begegnet ihr geduldig und freundlich, taut sie jedoch schnell auf und zeigt ihre verspielte und fröhliche Seite. Valentina ist eine echte kleine Schlemmermaus und für Leckerchen sehr zu begeistern. Dadurch lässt sie sich wunderbar motivieren und lernt schnell. Ihren Menschen möchte sie gerne gefallen und zeigt sich als treue und aufmerksame Begleiterin. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle lebt Valentina problemlos mit anderen Hunden zusammen. Auch das stundenweise Alleinbleiben klappt in Gesellschaft eines Hundes bereits gut. Autofahrten meistert sie entspannt und nachts schläft sie ruhig durch. Wenn sie regelmäßig nach draußen darf, ist sie zuverlässig stubenrein. Für Valentina wird ein liebevolles Zuhause gesucht, in dem sie in Ruhe ankommen darf und die nötige Zeit bekommt, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Aufgrund ihrer handlichen Größe und ihres freundlichen Wesens wäre sie sowohl für eine Familie mit älteren Kindern als auch für ein Paar oder junggebliebene Senioren geeignet. Ein bereits vorhandener, souveräner Ersthund wäre schön, ist aber keine Voraussetzung. Wer Valentina kennenlernen möchte, darf sich auf eine liebenswerte, verspielte und treue kleine Hündin freuen, die ihren Menschen sicher viel Freude bereiten wird.

About Valentina

What life with Valentina looks like

Valentina is a adult maltese dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 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.
