My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Valentine: A Diamond in the Rough, Ready to Shine!

After fostering Valentine for the past two months, I can say it’s been nothing short of an honor to get to know this incredible girl. Her journey has been far from easy, but there’s something so special about her that I know will resonate with the right person.

Once she feels safe and secure, Valentine is all love. She’s goofy, hilarious, affectionate, and the most loyal companion you could ask for.

Valentine does best when she has her toys to chew on. It helps her relieve some stress, and once redirected, she sticks to her toys—she’s a quick learner! As a Malinois, she’s got the energy of an athlete, so her morning walks (about 45-60 minutes) are a must. After that, she’s totally content to rest and cuddle up with you at home.

Her past has left her a bit skittish around sudden noises and chaotic environments. She is potty trained, but you will need to show her her new routine in your space before she understands when and how to hold it until she’s outside. We have been in professional training together and she’s doing well with positive reinforcement, making great progress, learning commands like “heel,” “stay,” and “off”. With more time and love, she’ll continue to grow into a confident, well-rounded dog. The right owner for her will continue training with love and commitment so she’ll keep blossoming into a dog that will fill your life with joy.

Valentine needs a calm, secure home where she’s the only dog. The ideal adopter would be someone patient and understanding, willing to help her navigate the world at her own pace. In return, she’ll be the most devoted, fun, snuggle-loving adventure buddy you’ve ever had.

Bonus offer: I’m happy to offer free dog-sitting or walks anytime you need them, just to make sure Valentine always gets the love and care she deserves, even if you’re out of town. ??

If you`re ready to help Valentine continue her journey and offer her the loving forever home she deserves, please reach out. I promise, she’ll bring so much happiness into your life (she already has in mine)! ????

Valentine is in a Foster Home and not housed at the shelter. Please contact our foster coordinator at vbasfosterinfo@gmail.com to arrange a meet and greet.
