Valen the Pointer/Dalmatian Mix Is Ready to Trade Shelter Life for a Loving Home

Meet Valen! This 1½-year-old Pointer/Dalmatian mix was found running loose near Hwy 276 and 548 on 3/6/26, and sadly, no one came forward to reclaim her. Now, this sweet girl is ready for her next chapter: a forever family who will love and cherish her.

Valen has already won over the shelter staff with her gentle, affectionate personality. She’s social, happy, and thrives on attention, soaking up every pet and kind word she receives. Walks are a joy for her—she moves nicely on leash and loves spending time with her humans.
