Meet Valero, aka “Val”!
Val is a 2-year-old neutered German Shepherd mix who weighs 54 pounds and has made an incredible comeback. Found trying to survive at a Valero gas station, Val was once emaciated and struggling with a bad eye infection and a limp. Today, he is healthy, happy, and ready to find the forever home he deserves.
Val is the kind of dog who has that just right energy. He enjoys playing outside, exploring, and having fun, but he’s equally happy to come inside, snuggle up with his people, or find a cozy spot for a nap. He absolutely loves affection and will gladly roll over for belly rubs.
This handsome boy has wonderful house manners. He is house trained, has never had an accident in the home, and sleeps soundly in his crate at night. He is also a great car rider, making him an easy companion for errands, adventures, and road trips.
Val is doing well in a home with 4 cats and 3 dogs of all sizes—small, medium, and large. He has also been around older children at the park and has done well letting them pet him. He walks nicely on leash and can go on walks with his canine foster siblings. He is still building confidence when passing unfamiliar dogs and may bark, but he redirects quickly with treats and positive guidance.
Val also has a playful side. He loves fetching the ball and is still working on the “bring it back” part, though he thinks being chased is pretty fun too. He’s also discovered that he enjoys the water and has had a great time splashing around in the creek behind his foster home.
Val is a sweet, resilient, affectionate dog who has been through hard times and come out shining. Now all he needs is a family to love him forever.
