Meet the lovely Valerie, a gentle soul whose heart is brimming with love and resilience! 💖 This 4½-year-old pit mix is a delightful bundle of warmth, boasting gorgeous brown and white fur that’s just waiting for those head scratches and belly rubs! 🌟 Valerie’s journey hasn’t been a walk in the park. 💔 Rescued from the brink of despair at Memphis Animal Services while pregnant and petrified, she found strength in nurturing her beautiful babies in a loving foster home. This chapter of her life only added to her incredible spirit. With a heart as big as her will to survive, Valerie has blossomed into an affectionate companion. This sweet girl weighs around 46 pounds and knows the ropes! She’s a pro at sitting for treats, enjoys car rides, and walks gently on a leash. Even a 9-year-old can take her for a stroll without a hitch! 🚶‍♂️❤️ Valerie is both leash and crate trained, and she’s mastered potty training like an absolute champ! 🌈 She is heartworm negative, spayed, and vaccinated. However, she's looking to be the star of her own show as the only dog in the house. Due to past altercations with aggressive dogs, and a definite no-go with cats, this sweetheart truly thrives when she has a loving family all to herself. Just imagine the love and loyalty that could be showered upon you! 🏡 Attention? Oh yes! Valerie is a cuddly Velcro dog who adores being close. If you’re in the mood for someone to cuddle with while lounging on the couch or sharing the bed, she’s your girl! And those tail wags when you talk to her? Pure bliss! 🌈 But do keep in mind that loud noises like thunderstorms can make her nervous, so a calm environment would be perfect for her. Valerie loves to chew on bones and engage in playful moments with rope toys. And oh, those treats—Beggin Strips, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, and even home-cooked meals? She’s ready for a gourmet experience! 🍖🥦 Never once has she shown aggression; instead, she shares her gentle spirit with adults and children alike. This loving girl is eager to please and responds beautifully to gentle corrections. You can find Valerie in Burkesville, KY, and she’s willing to travel to find her forever family! A small fee may apply if volunteer transport isn’t available. What she truly needs is someone who recognizes her steadfast devotion and all the love she still has to give. After weathering the storm, she’s ready to become someone’s treasured companion! So, are you ready to bring this loving soul into your life?
