Valentina

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Mischling Valentina sucht IHRE Herzensmenschen! Valentina wurde in einem völlig verwahrlosten Zustand, mit einem unbehandelten Vestibular-Syndrom, in unserem spanischen Partnertierheim aufgenommen. Nun durfte sie das Tierheim verlassen, um auf eine Pflegestelle in Deutschland zu reisen. Und der Pflege und Liebe bedarf es auch bei Valentina. Auf der Pflegestelle lebt sie harmonisch mit anderen Hunden zusammen. Ein Herz auf vier Pfoten – das ist Valentina. Sie ist eine süße, freundliche, verschmuste und absolut liebenswerte Hundeseele. Sie benötigt die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen, wie die Luft zum Atmen. So verwundert es nicht, dass Valentina sich sehr eng an ihre Menschen bindet und permanent in ihrer Nähe sein möchte. Aufgrund der bestehenden Verlustängste mag Valentina auch nicht alleine bleiben. Hinzu kommen leicht demente Anzeichen bei der Hündin. An der Stubenreinheit wird noch fleißig gearbeitet. Ihre körperliche Gesamtverfassung hat sich schon verbessern können. Das Gangbild von Valentina ist bereits stabiler geworden. Hin und wieder wankt sie noch beim Laufen, aber sie kippt nicht mehr um. Der Aufbau der Muskulatur, insbesondere der Hinterläufe, muss weiter trainiert werden. Hundegänge sind für Valentina lediglich eine Notwendigkeit, um ihr „Geschäft“ zu erledigen. Sie mag sich nur ungern von ihrem Zuhause entfernen. Nachts ist sie ein unruhiger Geist und schläft erst spät ein. Die Schiefhaltung des Kopfes durch das Vestibular-Syndrom ist weiterhin vorhanden. Altersbedingt hört Valentina nicht mehr gut. Für Valentina suchen wir nach einem endgültigen und passenden Zuhause. Aufgrund der bestehenden Beeinträchtigungen sollte es ebenerdig gelegen sein. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten ist eine Voraussetzung für die

About Valentina

What life with Valentina looks like

Valentina is a 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.

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. 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.
