Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Valerie was saved after jumping into a lady's car after clearly being neglected for a long time. Valerie needs a foster ASAP!!
Valerie AKA Queen Bee is a spunky, sassy 2 year old Dogo with so much love to give she finds it hard to keep quiet!
Her favorite things include snuggles, long walks & car rides, treats... and did we mention she loves snuggles?
Valerie is heartworm positive but doesn't let that bring her down. She'd love a foster to go through treatment with, and when she's done she'd love a soft, warm bed in a home to call her own and maybe a friendly, submissive dog friend or two. Valerie is currently located in Houston, TX, but the thought of a road trip to her forever home makes her happy, so transport could be arranged for the right home.
Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new families really understand the needs of a dogo!
