valorie

Valorie is barely a year old, but she’s been through so much. There’s a reason we spell her name the way we do: She has displayed a lot of valor.

We are bound and determined to turn Valorie’s life around so she can experience the love of people and know that she is safe and cared for, furever.

Valorie came to us with not one but two broken legs. She is now healed from her second surgery, and the vets think she’ll be able to run, play and jump like a regular dog with no lasting physical effects. However, because the injuries happened at the hands of humans, she still bears some emotional scars.

Here are some things that bring her joy:

🐕🐩🐕 Other dogs! She loves them so purely and trusts them completely

💦💧💦 Water. She plays in the creek at her foster’s house and has a blast, and she doesn’t mind the rain or storms at all.

🌤🌷🌳 Being outside. She wants to go, go, go, whether she’s in the yard or on a leash walk.

🚗 Car rides

🌭🍔🍦Food and treats – the way to Valorie’s heart is through yummy eats

🤸‍♀️ 🐾 😴 Her energy level will match your energy – from adventure time to lazy time

She knows sit, down, come, kisses & kennel and is learning more basic commands. Walks are exciting, & she pulls a little at first, then settles into a nice pace with you. She is house-trained and bell-trained, & she sleeps in her crate at night.

Valorie is very gentle with kids who are respectful to dogs and who know that she will need space at first. Then, she will love and protect them hard. So kids are fine but cats are a 'no' for this girl.

She is bashful because of her past and may startle at sudden noises and movements, especially at first. She will need some time – likely days or even weeks – to acclimate to her new home, before many new people or visitors start showing up.

Valorie will continually remind you what life is all about and keep you focused on all the joys there are to behold. Want to be her forever hero? Apply to adopt her today.

She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped, plus current on preventatives for heartworm and flea/tick. Her adoption fee is $175.
