A LOVELY YOUNG DOG: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 33 lbs. Hi there, I'm Valentina! I'm a darling young dog who somehow found myself at animal control, and I'm so grateful to be in the Mostly Mutts family now. I got to spend some time in a wonderful foster home for about a week and am back at the MM shelter now. I'm loving my time with the wonderful volunteers and can't wait to meet the family who will call me their own! I'm currently in the prison/foster training program off-site and learning a lot! Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I played nicely and wanted to cuddle with a 7-year-old female dog in a temporary foster home. I also met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and was vocal around them and not interested in playing, so it could depend on the environment. If you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet along with my trainer and see if we can be friends! / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My temporary foster family and the shelter volunteers say that I'm very playful, smart, and sweet. Not to sound conceited, but people also say that I have beautiful eyes and fur. I seem to know my boundaries in the home, do great around people, and am a loyal, wonderful companion. I truly thrive on being with people and love staying connected to them. I'm an active, friendly girl with a bright mind and a big heart. / Energy level: 6-8, so I'd like to be active with my new family. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already learned the 'sit', 'down', 'stay', 'come', 'drop it', and 'place' commands. I also use proper door etiquette and I look forward to learning even more. / I didn't need a crate in my temp. foster home and I'm doing pretty well in it at Mostly Mutts though it's not my favorite place to hang out and I do come out of it quickly. / I did well with my potty manners in my temp. foster home, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love my stuffed toys, going for walks, playing with frisbees and tennis balls, and spending time with people . . . and I know we'll find plenty of new favorite activities to enjoy together once I'm home with you. / I was pretty nervous during my first shelter bath, so we did a foam bath. I hope to be better with those soon. Like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I'm a wonderful young dog looking for a wonderful family to love and be loved by furever. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
