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

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 8 years

mixed breed Valentina-bereit anzukommen The black, slender beauty from Andalusia arrived at her foster home in Germany in early May and immediately won the hearts of everyone there. She loves people, whether they are big or small, men or women, as long as they can give her a good and patient stroking! Valentina just wants to be liked and is incredibly nice and affectionate. But at first, she was also very shy. She currently lives with four, sometimes even more, other fur-noses, and that is just fine for her. However, she could also live very well without other dogs in her new home. All love for her! Valentina quickly learned the rules of house life and was house-trained from day one. She also had no trouble with basic commands like bed or sit. The beautiful one has no problems with vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, mopeds, or whatever noisy machines. It simply doesn't interest her if there's a lot of noise. Also, the chickens, quails, and cats in the neighborhood are completely uninteresting to her. During walks, she walks calmly on the leash and enjoys the time outside of the house and garden. She can also be left alone for a short time. She then lies in her box and simply sleeps away the wait time. Valentina brings with her a certain amount of backpack experience due to her age, but whatever she experienced in her previous life: she has closed the book on it and is looking forward to her new life in a protected forever home!

Mischling Valentina-bereit anzukommen Die schwarze, schlanke Schönheit aus Andalusien ist Anfang Mai bei ihrer Pflegestelle in Deutschland angekommen und hat dort sofort die Herzen aller erobert. Sie liebt Menschen, egal ob groß, klein, Mann oder Frau, Hauptsache die Zweibeiner können gut und ausdauernd streicheln! Valentina will einfach nur gefallen und ist dabei unglaublich nett und liebesbedürftig. Aber anfangs auch sehr schüchtern. Sie lebt aktuell mit vier, manchmal auch mehr, anderen Fellnasen zusammen und das ist auch in Ordnung für sie. Allerdings könnte sie auch sehr gut ohne andere Hunde in ihrem neuen Zuhause leben. Ganz nach dem Motto: alle Liebe für sie! Valentina hat die Regeln von einem Leben im Haus super schnell gelernt und war von Tag eins an stubenrein. Auch erste Kommandos wie Decke oder Sitz waren kein Thema für sie. Die Schöne hat null komma null Probleme mit Staubsaugern, Rasenmähern, Mopeds oder was auch immer an Krachmachern. Es interessiert einfach nicht wenn es da lärmt. Auch sind die Hühner, Wachteln und die Katzen in der Nachbarschaft für sie völlig uninteressant. Bei den Gassirunden läuft sie entspannt an der Leine und genießt die Zeit außerhalb von Haus und Garten. Alleinbleiben kann sie ebenfalls schon für eine kurze Zeit. Sie liegt dann in ihrer Box und verschläft die Zeit des Wartens einfach. Valentina bringt auf Grund ihres Alters mit Sicherheit auch einen Rucksack an Erfahrungen mit aber was auch immer sie in ihrem bisherigen Leben erlebt hat: sie hat damit so gut wie abgeschlossen und freut sich auf ihr neues Leben in einem geschützten Für-immer-Zuhause!

About Valentina

What life with Valentina looks like

Valentina is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
