Adopt Valentina

Mixed Breed · Female

compatibility with others: Gets along very well with other dogs; with cats: not known, can be tested. Current location: animal shelter Pirot (Serbien) Valentina is a loving, quiet, and gentle female dog who completely disappears into the animal shelter. She always stays in the background, never pushes to the front. She is quiet and very quiet. Valentina longs for warmth and affection. She sits in a cramped, rusted-in kennel day in and day out. She could be rehomed as a second dog, but that is not necessary. She would be happy to finally be able to lead a peaceful life in a quiet home.

Verträglichkeit: Sehr gut mit anderen Hunden verträglich; Katzen: nicht bekannt, kann getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Valentina ist eine liebe, ruhige und sanfte Hündin, die im Tierheim völlig untergeht. Sie steht immer in zweiter Reihe, drängt sich nie nach vorne. Ist still und sehr leise. Valentina sehnt sich sehr nach Wärme und Zuwendung. Sie sitzt Tag ein, Tag aus in einem engen, verrosteten Zwinger. Kann gerne als Zweithündin vermittelt werden, muss aber nicht. Sie wäre froh, endlich in einem ruhigen Zuhause ein friedliches Leben führen zu dürfen.

About Valentina

What life with Valentina looks like

Valentina is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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. Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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.
