About Valerie

Meet Valerie, a gentle pit mix with a heart full of love. At 4½ years old, she brings a calming presence, weighing about 46 pounds, with warm brown and white short fur. Her journey started on a tough note; Valerie was rescued from the euthanasia list while pregnant. Thankfully, she found safety in a foster home where she became a devoted mother to her puppies. This experience only deepened her affectionate nature. Valerie is well-trained—leash, crate, and potty trained. While she’s spayed and up to date on vaccinations, she thrives best as the only dog in the home due to past altercations with aggressive dogs. Sadly, she does not get along with cats. However, her love for people is boundless; she’s friendly and gentle with children and welcomes guests with happy tail wags. Loud noises can unsettle her, making a quieter home ideal. Valerie enjoys outdoor play, chewing on toys, and savoring treats like Beggin Strips and home-cooked meals from her previous foster. She's a true Velcro dog, loving to cuddle and relax close to her humans. With her gentle demeanor and desire to please, Valerie is ready to bring joy to a forever home. Would you be the one to give her the love she deserves? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
