For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Valerie is about 2-3yo, 29lbs, great with other dogs and very loyal to her human. She had a crappy start to life, living on a ranch where they let her breed at a very young age then being given away to another home where they let her run the neighborhood. She was then dumped at a rural area by Angeles Nation Forest. Thankfully someone reached out and our volunteer got her and her buddy Sunny before they were coyote food.
She’s learning the leash. Very curious and excitable so older kids are best. It would be helpful for any potential adopters to familiarize themselves with the breed. They can be mouthy but it’s just their way of life. She is gentle about it but it can be easily misinterpreted by someone unfamiliar with the breed.
She needs adventure…an active lifestyle. And a very secure yard with supervision.
