Meet Valentina! Valentina is a beautiful female Black Mouth Cur mix, weighing about 45 lbs. She's calm, gentle, loyal, and noble, making her a wonderful companion. While she might be a little shy with new people at first, her sweet and trusting nature quickly shines through once she feels comfortable. Valentina is already leash trained, crate trained, and house trained, and she'll let you know when she needs to go out. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, children, and adults, making her a perfect fit for a family or anyone seeking a faithful friend.
Valentina's story is one of resilience. She was born in Houston under a broken, abandoned house during freezing weather and wasn't expected to survive. Her strength and will to live make her an incredibly special dog. Now, she's ready for a forever home where she can finally feel safe, loved, and cherished.
Ideal Home
Valentina would thrive in a home with homeowners who have a fenced backyard and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. She needs a family with an open conscience about rescuing street animals and understanding their need for protection and education. Experience with dog behavior and training, along with high tolerance and patience for rescued puppies, is essential.
Ongoing Health
Valentina has been spayed/neutered and received her DHPPI and Rabies vaccines. She has also been dewormed and tested negative for heartworm. She comes with a health certificate and vaccination booklet.
Training & Support
While Valentina is generally well-behaved and house-trained, the listing notes that house-training is an ongoing process for many rescued pets due to the challenges of providing individual training for every animal in foster care. Patience and continued guidance will be key to her success.
