Valerian was surrenderd to the shelter in Chesapeake, VA when the owner could no longer care for him. He had previously lived outside in a pen and was uncertain and stand off-ish when he first came to us, but he warmed up to a goofy, woo-ing, wiggle butt boy. He is just so sweet! Valerian would be fine in a home with children 12+ due to his high energy level and as an only pet.

Story
Two sweet sisters looking for a loving fun home. I recently had a medical procedure. The healing process didn’t go as planned. I ended up in a financial burden causing me to lose everything. This is causing me to relocate and live with others which unfortunately my girls are not allowed to come. I would love for them to find a home together if possible. They are from the same litter and they have never been without each other. They were born June 23,2024. I have the first born and the youngest of the girls. Their mother had a tough pregnancy. But they’re here and I’ve enjoyed every moment with them. Rocki the oldest is very out going. Remi the youngest she’s easygoing. They’re so wonderful and loving. This is so hard for me to do but I’m asking please if you could open up your home for these sisters and continue the love as I have.
