This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Value and her littermates had an unfortunate start to their lives, but this does not make them any less sweet or deserving of home. They are shy and slow to warm up to people and experiences because their interactions have been limited. They did  not have many social interactions during a young age as they were battling parvo virus. They are currently working on socialization in controlled environments. They are looking for quiet, adult homes who will slowly integrate them into new experiences.  

Value has shown to be very fearful of humans but thrives around other dogs.  While we strive to break down barriers to adoption, we recognize that environment can have a large impact on dogs like Value.  Due to this we will only be considering home with other dogs and a fenced in yard for this girl.  The fence is to limit handling from the humans at the beginning as this will help to build trust and that bond.  We have not seen any aggression from Value, but rather significant fear.  She loves being around other dogs and they help her confidence. She would love another canine sibling or two!! 

She continues to learn about this big world, so will need someone patient to show her that treats, playtime and people can be awesome.  Value struggles particularly with touch and handling so we are going very slow and giving her space.  She would do best in a household that is quiet and predictable that does not have many social expectations. She does love trips to the beach with dog friends.

We strongly recommend that all of our dogs, especially puppies, attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it can build confidence and socialization for the dog. Value would benefit from working with a Behavior Consultant or Behaviorist to help her with transition. 

Medical Note: Val is a parvo survivor, and she is still gaining weight. Her last symptoms were on 12/6/2023, and we are so happy that she is okay now! 

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see      HERE      for more information about this.
