My name is Valkyrie!

We rescued Valkyrie “Val” from a shelter in Ventura County, CA in Sept 2019 as a stray that was picked up. When we first got Val she was incredibly shy, but once she warmed up to us she showed us how big her personality was. She is honestly and incredibly loving dog with very high energy as a cattle dog. Her biggest quirks/issues are that she sheds a lot and likes to lick a lot. But she is very open to being trained as she has been able pick up a couple basic commands naturally without any training. While giving her up is a devastating idea to us. Her high energy and demanding nature make her an unpredictable dog to have around our small child. She has not caused any harm and I honestly don’t believe she ever would but her need for attention and burning of energy mean that at this stage in our life we cannot properly give our sweet girl what she deserves. She is also probably best as an only dog home as she feeds off other dogs and gets jealousy of other dogs getting attention easily.
