Valor aka Sassman JP

My story

Valor has many meanings, but all of them center around "performing bravely in the face of great danger". I actually embody that. My name IS Valor, I came to the rescue in 2020 as a feral dog, in all sense of the word. I was SO scared of people, I didn't want ANYTHING to do with ANY person. However.... because of an INCREDIBLY patient foster mom and, believe it or not... I was adopted into a nice family in 2021 and returned in 2024. I like women, ok?? I don't trust men and it comes from the beginning of my life so it has been very hard to overcome :( SO, needless to say, even though I am a "brave" boy... I want to live with women in a home who understands that men make me nervous and I can hang in my crate whenever they come to visit. I am great with other dogs and would be best in a home with another calm dog. I am not big on puppies or larger dogs but I will play with a calmer, small dog and even might cuddle with them on the couch while you are Netflix bingeing :) Here is what my foster mom has to say about my sweet and goofy love, "He's a cute lil affection dude, always greets me and puts his head on my leg as he looks up at me, paw up, so I can pet his belly. He will put his feet on my knees when I'm sitting to get scratches then leans in to give me kisses. But he does not like to be picked up, just freezes." Also, "He's a picky eater... at least to start. He's been eating the BFF chicken shreds (picky picnic) and I've started adding a little kibble with it so it gets soft. Plus lil pieces of organ meat, sardines, cooked rutabaga, beans which he ever so curiously will sniff out but waits until I leave to eat." So, as you can see she LOVES me and my quirky ways! I am hoping I will find another wonderful woman family who will love my goofy ways too!! Local adoption only, fee $200 (in TX)
