valentine - available

Hi, I'm Valentine! I'm a 3-year-old female German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix (DNA results are in my photos), weighing 52 pounds, currently being fostered in Redford, MI. I spent a month in a high-kill shelter, terrified and alone, but now I'm ready to find my forever home with a family who will love me for the kind soul that I am.

It's suspected that I'm a distemper survivor, which gives me a special quirk—some involuntary muscle movements that make it look like I'm always grooving to my favorite tune. This doesn’t negatively affect me in any way - it just makes me even more unique and cute!

I have a laid-back personality with bursts of fun and silliness, and I adore being cuddled and having a dog friend to play with. I adjusted my energy to match the other dogs and cats in my foster home. I haven’t had any exposure, and I think I’d do best with older children, sometimes I get so excited to greet people that I might jump up and give a kiss! I ride well in the car, do fine on a leash, and am very food motivated, so I'd likely excel in training. A fully FENCED-IN YARD would be ideal for me to run and play.

I'm full of love and shower everyone I meet—humans, dogs, and cats—with kisses. I have great manners and am completely housebroken. Occasionally, I might pick up something I shouldn’t or do a little counter surfing, but I'm quickly redirected with kind words. I'm not crate-trained, but have never needed one, being trustworthy both at night and when alone at home.

I'm fully-vetted and ready to come home with you for an adoption fee of $300. If you have any questions not answered in this bio, please send an email  to [email protected]. Ready to bring me home?  CLICK HERE to apply to adopt me.  ​I can’t wait to meet you and start our new adventures together!
