. She was rescued from West Valley Animal Shelter, pulled from the euthanasia list just in time. Despite everything she’s endured, Valerie is incredibly sweet, loving, and full of personality—her foster even says “Valerie talks to you!” Whether she’s asking for her toy or just wants your attention, she’ll let you know with her signature charm. ✨ Valerie’s Personality: Super affectionate and people-loving Good with other dogs Spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped Great communicator—she'll "talk" to you! Described by all who meet her as “The Sweetest Dog” Valerie’s journey has been heartbreaking. She was adopted by someone who traveled from Oregon to California just to bring her home. For eight months, we received nothing but happy updates, photos, and videos—she was going on pack walks, making people smile, and thriving. But then, everything changed. Out of nowhere, Valerie’s adopter called animal control to surrender her. According to the adopter, there was an altercation between two dogs—her existing dog and another. Someone was bitten, and Valerie was put in a room while animal control was called on her. Despite no clear evidence that Valerie was involved, she was picked up and placed in a shelter again. Thankfully, a foster in Oregon stepped up to pull Valerie out before she was euthanized. They adored her, but unfortunately, their dog didn’t get along with Valerie, so she is now back in California with the rescue. We made Valerie a promise: Never again will she be abandoned. Never again will she be failed. Now, we’re looking for the best forever home—one that will love, protect, and commit to her for life. Valerie is available for adoption. We are specifically seeking: An experienced Staffordshire Terrier owner (current or past) A family or individual committed to loving her unconditionally A stable, forever home—no more temporary stops Interested? Please contact the rescue to submit an application. If approved, we will arrange a meet and greet with Valerie. She’s been through so much, but she still loves deeply and gives her heart freely. Let’s make sure Valerie finally gets the home she’s always deserved.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
