About Valerie

Valerie is a gentle, large Pit Bull Terrier with a soft spot for anyone who offers her a bit of kindness. She’s been in and out of the LA shelter system for nearly a year, and despite everything she’s gone through—failed adoptions, bouncing between shelters, and being let down more than once—she keeps showing volunteers her best side. Her docile and affectionate personality has turned her into a favorite wherever she goes. Valerie weighs in at 80lbs but walks on leash with surprising ease, never dragging or pulling. She’s happiest pressed up against a friendly human, head on your lap, soaking up affection like a true couch potato. Valerie is five years old, but age really is just a number for this happy, soulful dog. She’s house trained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and known for her mellow manner and signature cuddles. After several returns due to conflicts with other dogs, she truly needs a home as the only dog where she can finally feel safe and relaxed. Volunteers say she’s been stressed by the kennel environment, but her warmth and charisma shine through any uncertainty. Valerie is waiting in Inglewood, CA, for someone ready to offer her the comfort and consistency she deserves. Your home could be the turning point in her story. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
