How do I contact the shelter about Valerie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierrettung Portugal e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Valerie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Valerie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierrettung Portugal 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 Valerie 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 Valerie 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 Tierrettung Portugal e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Valerie 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.

Valerie

Mixed Breed · Female

Valerie is a true ray of sunshine. Cheerful and playful like a young female dog should be, she will surely bring a lot of joy to her new home. She has a shoulder height of 47cm. Valerie was found abandoned, tied to a tree. Therefore, we cannot say anything about her past. At the animal shelter, Valerie shows her best side and is always a cheerful and curious little ball of energy. Human attention finds her delightful, and she is typically a young puppy, open and friendly. Valerie likes her fellow animals and shows her kindness there as well. She is a wonderful female dog who still has so much to learn about life. We wish for Valerie a home with a loving family who will take the time to teach her the dog ABCs and show her what a good dog life is. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Valerie ist ein richtiger Sonnenschein. Fröhlich und verspielt wie es eine junge Hündin sein soll, wird sie bestimmt viel Freude in ihr neues Zuhause bringen. Sie hat eine Schulterhöhe von 47cm. Valerie wurde ausgesetzt, man fand sie angebunden an einem Baum. Deshalb können wir zu ihrer Vergangenheit nichts sagen. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Valerie von ihrer besten Seite und ist ein stets gut gelaunter und neugieriger Flitzebogen. Menschliche Aufmerksamkeit findet sie toll und ist typisch Junghund verspielt, aufgeschlossen und zutraulich. Valerie mag ihre Artgenossen und zeigt auch dort ihre Freundlichkeit. Sie ist eine tolle Hündin, die alles vom Leben noch lernen möchte. Wir wünschen uns für Valerie ein Zuhause bei einer liebevollen Familie, die ihr in Ruhe das Hunde ABC beibringen und ihr zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist.

About Valerie

What life with Valerie looks like

Valerie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung Portugal e.V. in Mühlheim am Main.

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.
