Meet Valentina!

This perfect medium breed is a total sweetheart and a BEAUTY!

Vale came to us from Ensenada. Mexico which means she is a HUGE mutt. Sure she looks like a belgian or gsd MIX. Very diluted genetics we are sure. She has finished all her vetting and is compleltey UTD and finished with all vaccines and spayed in san diego. She has been staying at casa de arwob since mid March and is doing amazing. She is crate trained and although we can't say she is potty trained,, we can say she has not had accidents when supervised. She is a puppy so she needs toys and currently still teething some pesky molars so she loves her twigs and benabones to chew on. She is VERY dog friendly, she adores to be chased and at the dog park her and Gia look like greyhound running. She wants to be friends with all the dogs. Currently her BFF is sweets the black lab and she has a major crush on Pickles or 3mo shep mix pup and adores playing with him, super excited when she sees him. Do know, little dogs like chihuahuas or small puppies would need to be supervised as she wants to play too much and takes advtage of being a young teenager on how she approaches them ei mouthiness all the chis and pups put her in her place but she needs to learn small doggies are NOT her personalize motor toys. Sharing a home with resident small breeds who are energetic (she would be fine with a senior retired little dog who is not running like crazy wanting to be chased) would probably be too chaotic but short stints like friends coming over with their small dogs or dog parks would be just fine. She can also 'bark' at dogs upon first initial meet especially on leash, the typical 'i am scared, do not run up to me that fast, i dont know yet' reaction which is gone once she knows the dogs. BUT if you have a personal dog we anticipate she will do this. She is not a big barker but will absolutely bark when she hears things or something is going on around the properly. Valentina is staying at casa de arwob and her bff is Gia, red and sweets. She also ADORES Chester the kitty, Vale is SUPER cat friendly! Vale ADORES humans even childrens, she has not exhibited ANY of the weary /cautious towards strangers shepherd tendencies.

We could really use the help with a foster for Valentina or if you are interested in her please submit the adoption application and you are welcome to do 1-2 foster to adopt trial first to ensure you are both well matched.
