Rumour has it that Valentina is amazing!

This stunner of a lady has quickly become a staff favourite here, and we will tell you why.

- Valentina ADORES attention and will sometimes not take 'no' for an answer. She does a cute little hop to get your attention and some loving.

- She is such a smarty-pants. Pointers are very smart doggo's and Valentina is no exception. She can sit on command and with hand signals and would just love the opportunity to grow her skills in the home.

Valentina will need to in a family with secondary school-aged children and above, and with the right meet and greet with a well-suited dog she may be suitable to with another dog. Valentina would do well with a larger, confident yet respectful dog that is willing to help her exert some of that working dog energy. We have not tested Valentina with cats or pocket-pets so would recommend that she is not sharing a home with these types of fury friends until she really gets a chance to settle into the home.

While our little lady is cheeky, sassy and attention-seeking, she will need help with her confidence when it comes to meeting new doggo friends and being introduced to unfamiliar environments. Force-***** training is a must and will help with her manners, as she can be a little jumpy when meeting new people.

To help Valentina blossom into the bestest girl, we would like Valentina to go to an active household. Now, this might mean a family that gets out and walks/runs daily, a family that is outdoorsy and goes camping or on hikes regularly, or, just a home where she will be able to be involved in every daily activity. Mental stimulation within the house like kongs, scent training and puzzle feeders are just as good for a dog's brain as walking is.

If you think you are the perfect fit for her, and she for you, please come down to the shelter for a meet and greet - bring your doggos and bring your secondary school aged-kids along too!
