Valentine

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Meet Valentine, a fun-loving, active young lad with a zest for life and a nose that never stops exploring! At just 2 years old, this handsome crossbreed loves getting out and about on his walks, taking in the world through plenty of sniffing adventures. Valentine is looking for an active home that can keep both his body and mind engaged. He enjoys learning and would thrive with adopters who are keen to continue his training and help him build his confidence. As we have no history for him, he may need support with some of the basics, including housetraining, settling when left alone. He could live with children aged 4 years and over, provided they are comfortable around a bouncy and enthusiastic dog. Valentine would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can enjoy all the attention for himself, but he is happy to socialise with other dogs while out and about on his walks. Once he gets to know you and feels comfortable, Valentine has a softer side too. Beneath his energetic exterior is an affectionate boy who loves nothing more than a cuddle with his favourite people. If you're looking for a loyal companion to join you on adventures, training sessions, and cosy evenings on the sofa, Valentine could be the perfect match.

About Valentine

What life with Valentine looks like

Valentine is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

An young 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Valentine, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Valentine?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Kenilworth handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Valentine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Valentine if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Kenilworth 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Valentine 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 Valentine 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 Dogs Trust Kenilworth early rather than rehoming privately; they know Valentine 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 (EN). 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.
