Valerie

Hi, 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.<br/><br/>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 at Memphis Animal Services 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.<br/><br/>I’m leash, crate trained, and potty trained. I’m heartworm negative, spayed and vaccinated. I do best as an only dog. 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. But when it comes to people? I am a complete sweetheart.<br/><br/>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. Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms make me nervous, so I’m hoping for a quieter home where I feel safe.<br/><br/>I enjoy chewing on femur bones, pig ears, rope toys, and playing outside. Treats? Oh yes—Beggin Strips, Purina dental chews, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, pinto beans, rice, green beans, chicken broth…I’ve even had home-cooked meals from my foster. I was on Simparica Trio to protect against heartworms and did great on it—no issues at all.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>I’m in Burkesville, KY and can travel to other states to find my perfect match. A fee may apply if volunteer transport is not available. 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.
