Meet Valerie, a 1-year-old female Terrier mix, who is looking for her forever home. This timid but sweet girl weighs 27 lbs and loves nothing more than to sit in your lap and soak up the love. Though she has not yet learned to walk on a leash, she’s eager to figure it all out with a caring human by her side. Valerie is one of over 80 dogs rescued from a terrible hoarding situation, where they endured unhygienic living conditions and emotional neglect. Despite her past, Valerie exemplifies resilience and sweetness. She has begun to enjoy the comforts of affection and is slowly discovering the joys of being loved. She gets along well with other dogs and would thrive in a kind and understanding environment. Valerie is spayed and vaccinated, ready to join a compassionate family that can offer her the life she deserves. If you're looking to make a meaningful change in a deserving dog's life, consider meeting Valerie this Saturday from 12 to 3 PM at our adoption event. Click apply to start the adoption process.
