Valentine, as you can see from her recent pics, likes to smile! She always seems very happy and very busy.... she's on the go running from room to room and observing all the new parts of her world. She has finally left her previous world behind and interested in learning what doggy life is really all about.
She is currently eating Nutro doggy food twice daily and is starting to eat puppy biscuits and chew on rawhide bones. When she first came into foster care, she would not take treats from us, which seemed really strange. Now she loves them! She is a good eater and loves racing over to her water bowl...sloppily drinking. She does not yet play with doggy toys.... cannot seem to figure out what they are?
We keep Val in a crate when we are gone and so far she is keeping her crate clean except for a few accidents in the beginning. She is doing fairly well with housebreaking.... I think she is learning that the proper place to "go" is outside but she is not completely housebroken. Val sleeps quietly in her crate at bedtime.
Val shares her foster home with two resident dogs and gets along well with them and enjoys their company. She would love to continue to have lots of doggy interaction in her adoptive home.
When you pick Val up, she will lay her head on your shoulder. She is cuddly and sweet and submissive.
She will need a patient forever home to help her work through some of her fears and assure her that she is safe and loved. At her young age, she will need continued training, but will no doubt mold into a terrific pet.
Please consider adopting her.... you will not regret it!
