​Valerie is the definition of beauty and brains. While she might be a little bashful when meeting new faces, don’t let her shy exterior fool you—this girl is a total scholar! Valerie has mastered Sit, Shake, and Speak, and she is always eager to add more skills to her resume. ​Because she is highly food-motivated, training is Valerie’s love language. It’s the best way to earn her trust and watch her personality shine. She is looking for a patient home that understands she needs a moment to warm up to strangers. Once she knows you’re her person (and that you have the good snacks), she’ll be your most loyal, clever companion. Valerie has been proving just how smart and motivated she is, as shelter staff have created and begun a training regimen for her! When you come in to meet her, they would love to walk you through Val’s skills. It would be best for her to be in a home with an experienced handler who can continue with training. She is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and excited to find her forever home. Additionally, her adoption fee has been waived! Feel free to call us at (208) 634-3647 if you have questions or visit the shelter to meet her.
