About Valentina

Valentina is a striking 2-year-old Lab mix, currently thriving in her foster home. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and her preventative care is up to date. Known for her affectionate nature, Valentina truly shines during one-on-one time with her person. In a calm and structured environment, her loyal personality comes to life, making her a devoted companion. Fully house trained and crate trained, Valentina enjoys her crate and follows commands well, demonstrating her intelligence and eagerness to learn. She’s familiar with many commands, including sit, paw, and even ‘time to go to sleep,’ guiding her to her bed. While she loves being active—walks, fetch, and tug-of-war keep her engaged—she does need management on the leash and can be a bit jumpy when greeting people. With consistency in training, these behaviors can improve. Valentina prefers to be the only pet, as she values her space and boundaries. Although she interacts well with some dogs, she needs polite companions and may take time to warm up to new people. Once she trusts you, her sensitive nature evolves into deep loyalty. Valentina is looking for an adult-only home where she can feel safe, receive the patience she deserves, and enjoy a structured routine. In the right environment, she will thrive, providing unyielding love and companionship. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
