Valeria

Valeria loves to take her foster Mom's socks for walks! If anyone is looking for an easy peasy, sweet, well-behaved mix of squirrel watcher, sock carrier, and sunbather then Valeria is PERFECT. This sweet gal loves walkies, snacks and watching you do whatever you're doing She's the perfect blend of takes herself out to sniff around but isn't SO brave that she has any interest in fleeing the scene. She's great with other dogs... not sure about cats, and loves, loves, loves to chase squirrels. She has plenty of energy if the situation calls for it, but is very content to keep things simple. Once she feels safe, she can let herself go but isn't the most secure individual and would do best with someone who's looking for a companion to chum around with. She doesn't really like being picked up, but loves to rest her head on your lap/arm/foot/anything available. She's a very good sleeper at night and hasn't had any potty training issues. She *does* have separation anxiety issues and will howl when left "alone" so very important that a potential adopter work with her on this and makes sure that neighbors won't react poorly to her dramatic outburst.... She will howl when I walk to the mailbox even when surrounded by the other dogs and humans, but eventually settles and falls asleep at whichever door she's expecting me to come back from. She's got some long legs but is probably best described as a medium-sized small dog; she has the most heartbreaking big brown eyes and loves to stare at you with them!To have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport (dogs only), please visit our website. https://longwayhome.org/apply Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds. As long as they need rescue, that's what is most important to us.
