Valentina is a lovely girl who came to the surrendering owner from a couple who were no longer able to care for her because of their own medical issues. Unfortunately, the surrendering owner already had two Goldens, and when Valentina arrived as the third dog, a nosy neighbor reported in to the landlord since there was a two-dog limit in the housing area. So, Valentina was relinquished to AGR. She was immediately placed with an adopter and the resident dogs, Dante and Princess. Valentina had a mass removed from her mouth; fortunately it was benign, so she is off to a wonderful life. The adopter fell hard for this dear girl and sent us an update: 

Sweet Valentina came home with Dante, Princess, and myself after the Paws at the Park event on March 13, 2016. She has the distinction of being the 700th AGR rescue! Meeting her was nothing less than love at first sight! This quiet gentle soul settled into our home quickly and has loved birdwatching, walks, playing with toys, but NOT getting into the pool! She prefers lying in the shade supervising pool activities. Her “fierce” side appeared when she and Dante chased a coyote away from Princess – both were heroes on that day! Since being adopted, Valentina lost her new sibling, Dante, but she and Princess get along well.
