About Valli

Valli is a 2 1/2-year-old spayed female Great Dane, weighing in at 140 pounds, looking for a loving home in Louisville, KY. Her early days weren’t easy; after landing in a shelter, she spent months waiting until a foster stepped in. During that time, she was diagnosed as heartworm positive and is currently receiving necessary treatment, which will require follow-up care in her future home. Valli’s adoption includes her alter, microchip, heartworm test, DHPP, rabies, and fecal tests. This gentle giant absolutely thrives on human attention and would do best as an only pet. She’s noted for her sweet personality and her love of snuggling, often forgetting how big she truly is. An above-ground, visible fence is non-negotiable, and her adopter must be local to Louisville. Valli is house trained and up to date on vaccinations. If you want a devoted, affectionate companion and can commit to following through on her ongoing heartworm treatment, she could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
