About Valorie

Valorie is still just a young girl, but she's been through so much. There's a reason we spell her name the way we do: She has displayed a lot of valor. We are bound and determined to turn Valorie's life around so she can experience the love of people and know that she is safe and cared for, furever. Valorie came to us with not one but two broken legs. She is now healed from her second surgery, and the vets think she'll be able to run, play and jump like a regular dog with no lasting physical effects. However, because the injuries happened at the hands of humans, she still bears some emotional scars.

Ideal Home

Valorie loves other dogs and has a blast playing in water. She also enjoys being outside and going on car rides. She is also very gentle with kids who are respectful to dogs and who know that she will need space at first. She is bashful and may startle at sudden noises and movements, especially at first. She will need some time to acclimate to her new home before many new people or visitors start showing up. Cats are a 'no' for this girl.

Ongoing Health

Valorie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped, plus current on preventatives for heartworm and flea/tick. She has fully healed from two broken leg surgeries with no expected lasting physical effects.

Training & Support

Valorie knows sit, down, come, kisses & kennel and is learning more basic commands. Walks are exciting, and she pulls a little at first, then settles into a nice pace. She is house-trained and bell-trained, and she sleeps in her crate at night. She may startle at sudden noises and movements, especially at first. She will need some time to acclimate to her new home.
