My story

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

Valentina | 6 years old | 17lbs (at least half of it is ears)| GTA

Valentina is the tiniest, cutest spitfire you've ever seen! Do not let the grey in her face fool you--she has the energy of a much younger dog. She loves to run and play fetch, and she can even walk on her hind legs like a circus dog! At six, she's maybe the best of both worlds: she has the wisdom and appreciation for comfort of an older dog, and the playfulness and agility of a younger dog. She also doesn't seem to know she's tiny--don't tell her--as she holds her own with the much larger dogs in her foster home.

Valentina takes a minute to get used to new people, but then she's very loyal and affectionate. She loves to be close to her people, and sleeps on her fosters' bed all night long. She especially enjoys a movie night and will squeeze herself between her two fosters to get the coziest spot on the couch.

She is housetrained, learning to come when called, doesn't guard food or toys, and is learning good leash skills.

She does well with all adults after some time to get used to them, and she'd be fine living with another dog. She hasn't yet been tested with cats or kids.

Valentina has a lot of personality in the most adorable and tiny package. If you're looking for a companion who will keep you moving and laughing, then you will love this dog.
