Chihuahua and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Calgary, Alberta

Meet Valentina!

Valentina is a gentle, thoughtful girl with a soft heart and a love for the simple things in life, sunshine, fresh air, and being close to her people. She may be a little shy at first, but beneath that quiet exterior is a sweet, affectionate companion who truly blossoms with patience and kindness.

She absolutely loves being outside and gets excited for her daily walks, happily exploring the world one sniff at a time. Valentina has a natural curiosity, especially when it comes to small animals, and enjoys staying engaged with her surroundings. At home, she balances this nicely with a calm, relaxed side, she's just as happy curling up in her bed or beside her humans for some quiet downtime.

Valentina is fully house-trained, very quiet (you'll hardly hear a bark), and has lovely manners. She takes treats gently and enjoys attention and affection, often settling nearby to feel part of the family. She sleeps comfortably in her crate at night and relaxes well when given her own space.

She thrives in a calm, predictable home and would do best with patient adopters who will give her time to settle and build trust. Smart, kind, and quietly devoted, Valentina is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and brings a peaceful, loving presence into the home.

If you're looking for a gentle companion who will grow with you and become your loyal shadow, Valentina is ready to meet you
