Valentina is a special, special little girl. She came to Healing Hearts last August from a horrible puppy mill / hording situation and it was clear that she'd never experienced what it was like to be loved. When she first came to our home, she hid from everyone, only coming out to eat. Little by little though, she started to trust us and take baby steps into being a member of our family. She's still very skittish about people, even us, but we follow her lead on how she wants to interact. She enjoys being around us and in the mornings, she jumps on the bed, kisses my face, and then wants to play. She seems more secure when people aren't towering over her. She still does not like to be pet, but she's getting closer to allowing it. Her playful side has emerged and her BFF is her 16 pound feline foster brother, Rooney. They wrestle and nap together. Valentina will do best in a home with a playmate who can also teach her some manners as she can be a bit rough. Valentina would do best in a quiet home without small children and with people who will respect her boundaries and let her determine when she's ready for next steps. She'd also do best in a home where her new family works from home or is home a lot. She's not outdoor potty or leash trained, but she consistently uses puppy pads. She's the most darling little girl and had made so much progress. Will you continue to help healing her heart?

**Note on breed and age determination:

Breed and age are often determined on appearance, our own knowledge, veterinarian advice, and/or information from the sending shelters or previous owners. Most of our adoptable dogs were previously stray dogs with little history, we can't be 100% sure of a dog's breed mix, and unless there is a specific date of birth listed, we can't be 100% sure of a dog's age. Additionally, our assessments of a dog's interactions with other dogs, cats, or children are based on OUR experiences. Your experience may differ.
