I’m Valerie—and if you’re looking for a loyal, gentle soul with a second chance in her heart, I might just be your girl. I’m a 4½-year-old pit mix with warm brown and white fur, and I weigh about 46 pounds. My story didn’t start easy: I was rescued from the euthanasia list while I was pregnant and terrified. But I fought through the fear and found safety in a foster home, where I gave birth to my beautiful babies. That chapter made me stronger and even more loving. I had to have been someone’s pet once—I know how to sit for treats, love riding in the car, and walk with gentle ease on a leash. My foster’s 9-year-old son can walk me without any trouble. I’m leash, crate trained, and potty trained. I adore attention—head scratches, belly rubs, butt scratches, laying in your lap or cuddled up in bed. I’m a Velcro dog through and through. I love talking with you and hearing your voice too. I enjoy chewing on femur bones, pig ears, rope toys, and playing outside. I’ve never bitten or growled at anyone, and I’m extremely loving and gentle with children—even strangers who visit get nothing but tail wags and happy excitement. I respond beautifully to corrections and really aim to please. All I need is someone who will love me for the devoted, tender-hearted companion I am. I’ve weathered hard times—and now I’m ready to be someone’s treasured baby girl.
Ideal Home
I do best as an only dog, as I’ve had some altercations when other dogs have acted aggressively toward me, so I’d feel safest having you all to myself. Absolutely no cats—I’ve shown I’m not safe around them. Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms make me nervous, so I’m hoping for a quieter home where I feel safe.
Ongoing Health
I’m heartworm negative, spayed and vaccinated. I was on Simparica Trio to protect against heartworms and did great on it—no issues at all.
Training & Support
I’m leash, crate trained, and potty trained. I respond beautifully to corrections and really aim to please.
