Valley Girl is the family dog of your dreams

My story

Y'all, I love Valley Girl SO MUCH! There are seriously so many great things I can say about her that it won't all fit here in this text box and I wish it did because she is that awesome. For starters, Valley was born to be a family dog! She has been around so many different age groups of kids and is amazing around them all. Even babies as young as 1 year old. I know this because she has personally be in my home with my 1 year old son. When I say she was better around him than my own personal dogs, I mean it. Valley was so gentle around him, wasn't bothered by all the crying, loud noises, all the chaos that comes with having a baby, and wasn't even bothered by his grabbing hands. Watch her video and see her in my home with my son and how perfect she is: https://youtu.be/gRsnZOJWJfI?si=TslU0H6mOoEcssIi Valley Girl is a pittie mix approximately 5 years old and currently weighs 67 lbs of pure love. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. I can promise you that you will never know a dog that will love you and impact your life the way that Valley Girl will. She is the soul dog you've been looking for. One thing about Valley that I love the most is how happy she is all the time. Seriously, no matter what this girl is always so happy. I also love just how easy she is and how comfortable she was the second she walked into my home. Valley didn't hesitate one bit making her self feel right at home. She honestly acted like she had been in my house before even though that was the first time. I also want to mention, once we got home it was very chaotic and I was running around like a mad women. I had a screaming baby that was hungry, my personal dogs barking like crazy, had things to unload out of my car, and had to rush to get ready for a dinner reservation. So Valley was quite literally thrown into the mix of my chaotic home and she was just along for the ride. Valley was left shortly after coming to my house (where she has never been before) and was kenneled for at least 4 hours in a new environment, in the same room with another dog kenneled in close proximity, and when we got back home, her kennel was clean and it didn't even look like she tried to get out to her kennel either. Which would have been very easy for her to do because it was not the most secure kennel. She did bark out of excitement one we got home but that was it. She immediately got over her initial excitement and was snuggling on the couch with me. I have fostered a lot of dogs in the past and I have never had a dog be so easy to transition into my daily routine than Valley. Which just goes to show how confident and happy she is wherever she goes, regardless of what is going on. I have no doubt that she will act the exact same way once you bring her home as well. Valley immediately took to my husband and absolutely adored him! She loved rubbing all up over him, leaning in for affection and sneaking in those famous kisses of hers. She also did great meeting my mom who she has never met before. Valley didn't make a peep when my mom walked through the door and even with my personal dogs going crazy and barking like buffoons, Valley still didn't bark. She was so inviting and loving towards my mom and I've seen her act this way with other strangers as well when she is out in public. Valley loves every single person that she meets. She has been to places likes Home Depot, ice cream shops, dog-friendly restaurants, pet stores, through the drive-thru, and every time - she loves everyone she meets. Valley is a social butterfly that you can take anywhere, have friends and family over at your house, and she will be as loving as she always is. She rides great in the car and I like to call her "passenger princess" because she loves sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window, watching everything pass us by. She also does great on longer car rides as well. I have had her in the car with me for over an hour and she almost fell asleep sitting up. Valley can be your next road trip bestie! The absolute best thing about Valley that I am obsessed with, is how snuggly she is and how easy they are to come by. She doesn't need to be exercised before wanting to cuddle up or need some sort of mental stimulation to wear her out. Valley has no problem lounging around all day if you're not feeling well or just want a lazy day. She is all for it! Valley turns into the best weighted blanket where she will wedge herself in between you and the pillows of the couch, sprawling out and nuzzling her nose into the covers or resting her head on your chest while you watch a movie. You know she's real cozy when she starts to snore LOL. She doesn't snore loud though, it's just cute little piggy grunts really. Valley will sleep throughout the night in bed with with and she hardly ever moves either. Which is also a bonus because the last thing you want is to be constantly woken up by a dog. She will cuddle in the beginning, give you all the kisses, and will let you wrap your arms around her for the ultimate snuggles and will lay her head on your pillow. There is no shortage of cuddles with her, which I love. Even in the mornings, after a good nights rest, she is not bouncing off the walls with energy. Valley is calm in the mornings and even takes her time waking pup. After she did her morning business and ate her breakfast she was already posted up in my bed while I was getting ready and looking out the windows. If you have kids, you know how crazy mornings can be and she did not add to that chaos one bit. Valley is more than just snuggles and cuteness. She’s smart too! Valley already has mastered commands like sit, stay, out, has a great recall and has learned to walk with a gentle leader. A gentle leader is just another type of leash and some dogs just walk better with them. Valley girl is one of them! Especially when she sees a squirrel LOL. She loves squirrels and likes to chase them, they are just so exciting for her but when she is using her gentle lead leash, she is a lot easier to redirect. She did great walking with me and my little family and wasn't even bothered by my son's stroller either. She has had zero accidents at my house and can hold it all through out the night with no accidents. She understands that potty time is for outside only. She will immediately do her business the second she is outside. Valley also didn't ever get into anything that she wasn't suppose to either. Which was super comforting to know that I could could trust her to not destroy anything because it's already hard to keep up with a 1 year old that gets into everything, let alone having to worry about a mischievous dog at the same time. Valley is very food motivated and will do anything for a treat. Even with how food motivated she is, Valley has perfect table manners and isn't trying to steal your food off the table while you're eating. She didn't even try to steal my sons food when my mom was feeding him some muffins and it was definitely within reach. She sat there waiting patiently and even got a little bite because she was being so good. One thing that really impressed me was how she acted after she had people food. Some dogs will get all excited once that happens and not leave you alone hopping to get more but not Valley. She laid back down, walked off did her own thing and didn't become obsessive at all over it. Valley is dog friendly and does great passing by other dogs when you're out on a walk or when she sees other dogs in public. She doesn't bark at other dogs when she sees them either. In a home, Valley does best with confident males that like to play, enjoy those rumble and tumble wrestling matches, and also appreciate those calm relaxing moments too. Which is why she loved her best friend George. He would play wrestle with her and would let her go off and do her own thing as well. If you have another dog, she would be best paired with a male that has a similar temperament as him. Valley also is not the type of lady that needs another dog in the home to help her feel comfortable and open up or fill her energy needs. She is a confident and happy girl all on her own and she has a perfectly balanced energy that a walk around the neighborhood or game of fetch in the backyard is all she needs. Valley's love is the equivalent of two dogs combined so you won't ever have to worry about not feeling loved from this girl. She would also be best in a home with out kitty friends as well. Valley Girl is a true gem, and she deserves a forever family who will shower her with all the love and attention she craves. She's a total sweetheart. If you’re looking for a playful, resilient, and endlessly sweet companion to brighten your days, Valley is just waiting to fill your heart with joy!
