Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dinah is just the neatest little girl.
We had never heard of a Vallhund before, but look up the breed!

Dinah really fits the description.
This breed dates back to the times of the vikings!
She is very loyal to her family, but tends to be cautious of strangers
She is smart, obedient and sweet as pie.
She is a sensitive girl and small children like toddlers seem to make her feel nervous, so she would probably do best with adults or older quiet kids.
Also, she has some herding traits and she might tend to try to herd small kids.
She shadows her foster mom politely and wants to please. She also loves to play and can be quite the little clown.
She gets along well with her foster dog siblings.
Her foster mom says, this is one of the coolest dogs she has ever known!
Dinah is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm preventative.
Her adoption fee is $150
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
