Meet Valentina! Valentina is a stunning female Black Mouth Cur mix weighing in at about 45 lbs. She's the picture of calm, gentle loyalty, and nobility, truly embodying what makes a wonderful best friend. While she might be a little shy with new faces at first, her sweet and trusting nature blossoms once she feels secure.
Valentina is already a pro at leash walking, crate training, and knows exactly how to tell you when she needs to go outside. She gets along swimmingly with other dogs, children, and adults, making her a fantastic companion for families or anyone seeking a devoted friend. Her journey is a testament to her resilience; she was born under a broken, abandoned house in Houston during a harsh cold snap and defied the odds to survive. Her strength and will to live make her an exceptionally special pup, and she's now ready for a forever home where she can finally experience the safety, love, and cherished life she so deserves.
Ideal Home
Valentina would thrive in a home with a fenced backyard. She's looking for an active family that enjoys outdoor activities and has an open mind regarding the unique needs and behaviors of rescued animals, understanding their need for protection and education. Experience with dog behavior and training, along with high tolerance and patience for rescued puppies, would be a great asset.
Ongoing Health
Valentina has undergone spay/neuter, DHPPI, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccinations, has been dewormed, tested negative for heartworm, and received a health certificate.
Training & Support
While Valentina is described as house-trained, the listing notes that due to the high number of rescued pets, individual house-training for each animal is not always feasible. Adopters should be prepared to provide patience and understanding, especially for rescued puppies.
