Valentina

Mixed Breed · Female

Valentina is a wonderful Galgo who, like many others, was put out after the hunting season. She has an excellent temperament. She is calm but cheerful, and initially shows the typical shy behavior of a Galgo. However, she warms up very quickly and then becomes very cuddly. She likes cats, dogs, and children. Valentina is a very content female dog who, if left alone, neither cries nor breaks anything. She is perfectly house-trained and is simply an uncomplicated female dog, now just waiting to find her own family with whom she can weather thick and thin.

VALENTINA ist eine wunderschöne Galga die, wie so viele andere, nach der Jagdsaison ausgesetzt wurde. Sie hat einen hervorragenden Charakter. Sie ist ruhig aber fröhlich, und hat anfangs die für einen Galgo so typische Schüchternheit. Sie taut aber sehr schnell auf und zeigt sich dann als sehr verschmust. Katzen, Hund und Kinder mag sie. VALENTINA ist eine sehr genügsame Hündin die, wenn sie alleine bleibt, weder weint noch etwas kaputt macht. Sie ist tadellos stubenrein und einfach eins in allem eine unkomplizierte Hündin, die jetzt einfach nur darauf wartet, ihre eigene Familie zu finden, mit der sie durch dick und dünn gehen kann.

About Valentina

What life with Valentina looks like

Valentina is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Valentina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Valentina?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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 — Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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 Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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.
